  Neil Emans  
 
  Neil Emans has been the Head of the Discovery Cell Biology group at IP-Korea since April 2004. He is a graduate of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Heidelberg) in Cell Biology, and performed his post-doc in the lab of Prof Alan Verkman at UCSF where he held Boehringer Ingelheim and Human Frontiers post-doctoral scholarships. He was formerly an assistant Professors at Aachen University. His primary interest is high throughput biology.
