Mislocalization of missense variants in human disorders Mikko Taipale is an Associate Professor in the Donnelly Centre and the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. He received his MSc in genetics at the University of Oulu, Finland (close to the arctic circle). He then joined the international PhD programme in EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany. He completed his PhD in Asifa Akhtar’s lab, working on chromatin regulation by histone acetylation. He then joined Sue Lindquist’s lab at the Whitehead Institute for postdoctoral training. There, he focused on the client recognition mechanisms of Hsp90 chaperone and co-chaperones and on developing high-throughput protein/protein and drug/target interactions. Mikko started his lab at the Donnelly Centre and the University of Toronto in 2014. The Taipale lab is focused on diverse aspects of functional proteomics and genomics, including protein homeostasis, transcriptional regulation, disease variant phenotyping, and host/pathogen interactions.
