Michael Uhler, PhD

Mike received his BS in Clinical Chemistry from Seattle University and his PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Oregon. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and the University of Washington before moving to the Oregon Health Science University. He moved to the University of Michigan to study biochemical signaling mechanisms in the nervous system and worked there for 36 years before coming to the Morton Laboratory in 2024. His research project here focuses on the biochemical mechanisms of human heart development using induced pluripotent stem cells as models for genes involved in congenital heart disease.
