Philippe Soriano

Philippe Soriano is a developmental biologist who currently is a Professor of Cell, Developmental, and Regenerative Biology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Soriano is well known for his work on cell signaling during embryonic development. He has also developed numerous tools that have been very useful in the field of mouse genetics.
==Education==
Soriano grew up in New York City but moved to France when he was eighteen. He did his undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Paris, from which he received his doctorate in 1982.https://oh.sciencehistory.org/oral-histories/soriano-phillipe-m
==Career and research==
Soriano carried out his graduate work at the Institut Jacques Monod with Giorgio Bernardi working on isochores and compositional organization of the mammalian genome. He did postdoctoral work with Rudolf Jaenisch, initially in Hamburg, Germany and then at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, where he used retroviruses as lineage tags in early development and as insertional mutagens.
His first faculty appointment in 1987 was at Baylor College of Medicine where he conducted the first genetic analysis of Src family kinases through gene knockouts and developed gene trapping methods. One of the gene trap lines was an insertion at the ROSA26 locus, which expressed a reporter in all tissues and proved useful for chimera analysis. He then moved to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, where he began to work on signaling specificity engaged by growth factor receptors, particularly PDGF and FGF. He also developed methods for targeting the ROSA26 locus, by generating one of the first reporter mice for Cre recombinase. This locus has since been used as a primary docking site in the mouse genetics community for generalized gene expressionhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-07291-9. He moved to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in 2008 where he has continued to work on cell signaling pathways, particularly in the context of the early embryo, and in the neural crest and craniofacial development.
