Huge congratulations to former @StowersGrad Summer Scholar Isaac Witte on graduating with his #PhD from @Harvard this month! 🎓🧬
Before he was leading breakthroughs in genome editing published in @ScienceMagazine Isaac started his journey right here in #KansasCity. In 2017, he spent his summer in the lab of President & CSO @Planaria1.
His time at the bench exploring #planarian regeneration gave him the foundation to tackle some of #science’s biggest questions. We are incredibly proud to be a part of his story! 🪱
