Alma mater Brandeis University, M.I.T.
Doctoral advisor Jonathan King
Known for stem cells, spermatogenesis

Margaret "Minx" T. Fuller is a developmental biologist known for her research on the male germ line and defining the role of the stem cell environment (the hub cells that establish the niche of particular cells) in specifying cell fate and differentiation.[1][2]

Fuller is the Reed-Hodgson Professor of Human Biology at Stanford University, and former chair of the Stanford Department of Developmental Biology.

Biography

Fuller earned a B.A. in physics from Brandeis University in 1974, and a Ph.D. in microbiology from MIT in 1980, working with Jonathan King. She completed her postdoctoral work in developmental genetics at Indiana University, working with Elizabeth Raff and Thomas Kaufman, from 1980 to 1983,[3] Fuller joined the University of Colorado faculty and then joined Stanford University in 1990.[4] where she began working on spermatogenesis, doing genetic analysis of microtubule structure and function.[5]

Fuller is married to fellow biologist Matthew P. Scott.[6]
