Highlights

  • Wayne’s scientific career is focused on using genetic approaches in laboratory mice to better understand the causes and pathophysiology of epilepsy

  • From quantitative trait locus analysis to mutagenesis to gene targeting, he has focused on biology rather than technology, maintaining a strong sense of scientific rigor, a healthy scepticism, and a nose for opportunity. Wayne has remained both a community leader and a cutting-edge experimentalist, and we look forward to his continued contributions to mammalian genetics
