This week, Dr Inês Sequeira interviews Dr Nazia Mehrban about her career path spanning forensic science and criminology, to the development of biomaterials. She discusses how the smart materials she is developing will help to replace missing or diseased tissues for patients, and what her future plans are….

In Stem Cells @ Lunch Digested this week, PhD student Sergi Junyent interviews fellow CSCRM PhD student Sam Blackford. Sam talks about his experience studying in science so far, why he chose to work as a research assistant prior to taking on a PhD, and his research project exploring the possibility of using stem cells to treat liver diseases, and taking this to clinical trials.

Sam completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Sussex in Neuroscience, and a masters degree at Nottingham University. From there he took on a Research Assistant post at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology before starting his PhD here at the CSCRM.

This stem cells at lunch digested episode sees CSCRM PhD student Steph Hynes interview Dr Naomi Moris about her work studying embryo development using embryonic stem cells and the magical process of how cells make decisions!

Dr Moris studied Biological Science as an undergraduate, and found herself particularly interested in developmental biology and epigenetics. After some time spent researching at Cancer Research UK London, she to Cambridge to do a PhD between the departments of Genetics and Haematology. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Genetics, with Alfonso Martinez-Arias’ group.

Episode 52 - Dr Katelyn Spillane by StemCells@Lunch Digested

This week’s podcast episode, Dr Ines Sequeira interviews Dr Agathe Chaine from the MRC Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology based at UCL. We hear about her research history, working with “soft cells”, asymmetric division during the development of embryos, and the different types of techniques are being used in her lab…

Dr Chaine was awarded her PhD from the CIRB Collége de France where she stayed on to do a Post Doctoral position researching the biophysical properties of embryonic mitosis.

She is now a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the MRC Laboratory for Molecular and Cell Biology based at UCL, where she is studying how cells control their shape and size in asymmetric division during embryonic development
