This week we focus on limb regeneration in amphibians and ask how far away are we from mammalian regeneration? Maybe not as far as we think. We join Dr Can Aztekin @CanAztekin, a recent PhD graduate from Gurdon Institute @GurdonInstitute and current PI in EPFL, Switzerland @EPFL_en. We discuss regeneration in general and a novel tool to investigate different factors involved with regeneration. We also ask him the important questions such as how is it to work with a Nobel laureate? How was it to transition from PhD student to PI and why did he preprint?
