Education and early career
Lindblad-Toh was born 1970 in
Stockholm, Sweden. She studied molecular biology as an undergraduate at Karolinska Institute.[5] In 1998, she received her Ph.D. from the Department of Molecular Medicine at Karolinska Institute. She worked on several projects as a postdoctoral fellow at the Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research together with Eric Lander, including mouse SNP discovery, the development of genotyping technologies and association studies in human disease.[6] In 2002, she co-authored the paper describing the initial genome sequence of the mouse,[7] and in 2005 she published the first genome sequence of the domestic dog.[8]
