Critical points and transitions in embryo development
Camilla has successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “A closed feedback between tissue phase transitions and morphogen gradients drives patterning dynamics in the zebrafish embryo.” She studied how emergent collective properties regulate and interact with pattern formation in…
Our student Lena has successfully defended her PhD thesis titled “An optimum cell cycle heterogeneity times tissue fluidisation at the onset of zebrafish morphogenesis.” She studied the role of cell division synchrony in early embryogenesis. Lena will continue working in the Petridou…
The PhD work of our student Camilla is out on bioRxiv! Camilla has studied how emergent collective properties regulate and interact with pattern formation by tuning the length-scales and time-scales of morphogen signalling. Congratulations, Camilla!
Eric just joined our lab as a new PhD student. He studied at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), where he majored in Computer Science and Information Systems. As his interest in biology deepened, Eric worked on integrating single-cell RNA-seq data. In our group, he is interested in…
