}}Azim Surani {{post-nominals|country=GBR|CBE|FRS|FMedSci}}[3] (born 1945 in Kisumu, Kenya) is a developmental biologist who has been Marshall–Walton Professor at the Wellcome Trust/Cancer Research UK Gurdon Institute at the University of Cambridge since 1992, and Director of Germline and Epigenomics Research since 2013.[3][4]

Education

Surani was educated at Plymouth University (BSc),{{when|date=August 2017}} the University of Strathclyde (MSc)[5] and the University of Cambridge (PhD) where his research was supervised by Robert Edwards, who later won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.[6][5][7]

Career and research

Surani co-discovered mammalian genomic imprinting with Davor Solter[8] in 1984, and subsequently examined its mechanism and the functions of imprinted genes.[6] He later established the genetic basis for germ cell specification, using a single-cell analysis in mice.[6] This genetic network also initiates the unique resetting of the germline epigenome, including comprehensive erasure of DNA methylation towards re-establishing full genomic potency.[6] Epigenetic modifications and re-establishments of imprints then generate functional differences between parental genomes whilst aberrant imprints contribute to human disease.[6]

Surani's research is identifying key regulators of human germ line development and epigenome reprogramming, revealing differences between humans and mice attributable to their divergent pluripotent states and early postimplantation development.[6] He is also investigating transposable elements, host defence mechanisms, noncoding RNAs, and the potential for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in mammals.[6]

Awards and honours

Surani has received several awards for his work including the Royal Medal (2010), the Gabor Medal (2001) and the Mendel Lectures (2010).{{cn|date=March 2019}} He received the Canada Gairdner International Award, with Davor Solter, "For the discovery of mammalian genomic imprinting that causes parent-of-origin specific gene expression and its consequences for development and disease."[9] He won the Rosenstiel Award in 2006, with Solter and Mary Lyon, for "pioneering work on epigenetic gene regulation in mammalian embryos".[10]
