StemCells@Lunch Digested

In this episode, Jessica Sells interviews KCL Principle Investigator and Lecturer Dr Sandrine Thuret about her international study and career path, investigating topics ranging from cereal coatings to hippocampal neurogenesis and lecturing her favourite subjects. She tells us why it is important to study how the brain makes new neurons, what the hot debate is within the field and whether attitudes towards women in science have changed much over the 12 years she has been running her own lab….
