Kevin Czaplinski earned a Ph.D. in molecular genetics and microbiology at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, NJ, using yeast to research how nonsense-mediated mRNA turnover occurs. He was then a postdoctoral research scientist at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s Gene Expression Program in Heidelberg, Germany, where he used Xenopus oocytes to research mRNA export and cytoplasmic mRNA trafficking. Dr. Czaplinski later moved to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY, to research mRNA trafficking in nervous system development and function using mice and cultured cells. He continued this research leading his own research program as a faculty member of Stony Brook University’s Center for Nervous System Disorders in Stony Brook, NY, prior to joining CSR.
