Dr Philip Goff

Research Technician
Manager of Functional Genomics Cell Bank and PhD student.
Neuroscience & Cell Biology Research Institute

I am the manager of the Functional Genomics Cell Bank at St. George's, University of London. This resource is a mammalian cell bank at St George's, University of London, in association with the research group of Dot Bennett and Elena Sviderskaya in the Cell Biology and Genetics Research Section . The bank specialises in mouse melanocyte and melanoblast lines carrying a variety of pigmentary mutations. Other cell types include melanoma cell lines, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, mammary epithelial cells, myoblasts, and immortal human melanocytes.

I have recently passed my PhD under the supervision of Elena Sviderskaya, focusing on disorders of melanosome biogenesis.
