Ralf Jauch博士是一名结构生化学家，并在基因组学、干细胞生物学和计算生物学等领域具有较强背 景，在德国和英国的大学和科学院受过严格的专业训练，对转录因子协同作用及其调控干细胞分化的分子机制，做出过原创性发现。近年来取得很多突破性成果，以第一作者或重要作者身份发表科研论文超过30篇，其多篇重要文章先后发表在Nature Cell Biol、Stem Cell、Nucleic Acid Res、EMBO等 国际知名学术刊物；

在Jauch博士的学术成果中，以阐明多能干细胞的早期分化原理尤为突出，得到了学术界的广泛认同。他发现Sox转录因子家族中的两个不同成员（Sox2，Sox17）均能结合控制细胞重编程的关键转录因子（Oct4），并形成二聚体复合物，但这两种复合物的生物功能完全不同。Sox2/Oct4调控体细胞重编程的发生和效率；Sox17/Oct4复合物调控多能干细胞往内胚层方向的分化。Sox2和Sox17之间只需要突变一个氨基酸，就会导致诱导体细胞重编程或多能干细胞往内胚层分化的功能互换。这个突破性发现为干细胞的应用、体外诱导肝细胞和胰腺细胞的分化，提供了充实的基础和技术支撑。

Jauch博士参与了研发衡量转录因子结合DNA能力的ω因子计算程序，该程序已经在转录因子研究领域被广泛应用。他以第一发明人的两项专利分别在欧洲和美国取得授权。

获奖及荣誉： “通过工程化改造SOX转录因子促进细胞重编程”这一重要成果在第4届国际SOX会议上获得Pevny杰出研究奖（2014年9月获奖）；
