Before joining the Wagers laboratory, Albert obtained his Ph.D. from MIT, working in the Phil Sharp laboratory on the control of promoter directionality in mouse embryonic stem cells.

More about Albert
Scientist Spotlight with Albert Almada and Sharif Bordbar
Albert Almada and Sharif Bordbar of the Wagers lab talk about “Strength, Science, and Stories of Inspiration,” an event organized to raise awareness about degenerative muscular diseases and bring together scientists, patients, and pharmaceutical and biotech companies. In the lab, their work focuses on gene-editing technologies and muscle stem cell regeneration.
