Joanna Wysocka is a Polish American stem cell biologist. She is an HHMI investigator and the Lorry Lokey Professor of chemical and systems biology and of developmental biology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Wysocka studies the mechanisms of long-range gene regulation, human neural crest development, and transposable elements in the human genome. Her work identified species-specific enhancers in human and chimpanzee neural crests that control facial morphogenesis.
