StemCells@Lunch Digested

Today’s episode, CSCRM PhD student Daria Belokhvostova interviews EMBO Post Doctoral Fellow Dr Miguel Bernabe Rubio about his research background, what cilium are and why they are important in cell functions like cell division and how cells make decisions...

Dr Rubio is an EMBO Post Doctoral fellow. He was awarded his PhD from the Universidad Autonoma in Madrid, Spain. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of dedifferentiation in epidermal cells. For more information about him see the below link:

This week Dr Viji Draviam talks to us about why she studies cell division, what chromosomal stability is, why is it so important to understand this and some tips for starting your own lab!

Following a PhD from Trinity College, University of Cambridge (with Prof. Pines, Gurdon Institute, Cambridge, UK, 1998-2001), and Post-doctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School (with Prof. Sorger, Cambridge, USA; 2002-07), Viji started her own research group as a Cancer Research UK Career Development Fellow at the Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge (2008-15).

Viji’s group moved to the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, QMUL in August 2015. Her research group uses a combination of high-resolution microscopy and molecular biology techniques to understand the molecular mechanisms that ensure chromosomal and genomic stability in normal and cancerous human cells.

Welcome back to Stem Cells @ Lunch Digested! This week PhD student Emily Read interviews Dr Kai Kretzschmar about his career path, current research projects, what genetic lineage tracing is, and why he loves doing science!

Dr Kretzschmar is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Hubrecht Institute in the Netherlands. His work focuses on understanding the gut microenvironment which may influence bowel cancer, and locating the presence of stem cells in the heart.

Today’s episode of stem cells at lunch we are joined by 5 out of the 6 students of the Wellcome Trust PhD 2016 cohort based here at the CSCRM. They discuss their experience of co-writing a review for the International Journal of Developmental Biology looking at the latest developments in skin research. Hear about the review itself, and the highlights and challenges of the process…
