Education
editEichler was educated at the University of Saskatchewan and Baylor College of Medicine where he was awarded his PhD in 1995[2] for work on the FMR1 gene.[7]
Research
editEichler is considered one of the experts in genome instability studies,[8] segmental duplication and structural variation.[1][9]
