Prime Medicine
Emily Pomeroy has a diverse work experience in various scientific roles. Emily is currently working as a Scientist II at Prime Medicine, Inc. since July 2022. Prior to that, they held the position of Scientist I at the same company from May 2021 to July 2022.
Before joining Prime Medicine, Emily worked at the University of Minnesota. Emily started as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology (MICaB) program, where they focused on genome engineering of primary immune cells for the treatment of human disease. During their time there, Emily authored 14 publications, including two first-author primary research articles. Emily then became an Assistant Scientist in the lab of Drs. David Largaespada and Craig Eckfeldt, where they conducted preclinical studies on the specific roles of Ras effectors in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Their tenure at the University of Minnesota lasted from August 2016 to April 2021.
Prior to their work at the University of Minnesota, Emily had research experience at Northern Michigan University. Emily served as an Adjunct Instructor / Graduate Teaching Assistant from January 2010 to May 2013. Additionally, they worked as a Graduate Research Assistant in the lab of Dr. Erich Ottem, focusing on understanding the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in maintaining the motor unit from January 2012 to December 2012.
Emily also has experience outside of the scientific field. Emily worked as a Conservation Crew Supervisor at Superior Watershed Partnership & Land Trust from May 2010 to August 2010. In this role, they led and supervised a 10-person crew and planned daily work on projects around the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community reservation and the greater Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Overall, Emily Pomeroy has a strong background in scientific research, with a focus on genome engineering, cancer biology, and neurobiology.
Emily Pomeroy has an extensive education history spanning over a decade. In 2005, they began their undergraduate studies at Northern Michigan University, where they pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology with a focus on Physiology. Emily successfully completed their undergraduate studies in 2009.
After obtaining their bachelor's degree, Emily continued to pursue higher education. From 2010 to 2013, they attended Northern Michigan University once again, this time enrolling in a Master of Science program with a specialization in Neuroscience. Emily dedicated three years to this program, honing their knowledge and skills in the field.
Emily's thirst for knowledge did not stop there. In 2016, they took their academic journey to the next level by enrolling in the University of Minnesota. Over the course of five years, they immersed herself in the study of Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology. Their dedication culminated in earning a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in 2021.
Overall, Emily Pomeroy's education history showcases their passion for scientific research and continuous pursuit of knowledge, with degrees in Biology, Neuroscience, and Microbiology, Immunology, and Cancer Biology.

Prime Medicine was founded to bring the promise of gene editing to patients. We use Prime Editing, a next-generation technology that can “search and replace” to restore normal genetic function almost anywhere in the genome. Prime Editing searches to find the precise place in the genome to edit and replaces the segment of faulty DNA with a correct copy of DNA. A single Prime Editor can correct the individual mutations found across patients, meaning Prime Editing can potentially address more than 90 percent of known disease-causing genetic mutations. We envision a world where this technology can cure, halt, and ultimately prevent genetic diseases, providing lifelong benefit to patients. Prime Medicine offers the opportunity to shape the future of gene editing and transform how medicines are used to treat disease. Realizing the promise of Prime Editing requires a talented team with diversity of viewpoints and expertise. We’re building a group of dedicated, scientifically curious individuals who are passionate about helping patients live longer, healthier lives.
