Academic Achievements
- Academic Achievements: Discovered how to promote the self-organization of stem cells into structures resembling mouse and human blastocysts (termed blastoids), with publications in Nature (2018, 2021), Protocol.io (2018), and Nature Protocol (2023). Founded dawn-bio, a biotech company leveraging blastoids for women's reproductive health.
Research Experience
- Research Experience: Investigating the fundamental principles of embryonic self-organization using mouse and human blastoids, focusing on the coordination and pacing of molecular and mechanical signaling, as well as genetic traits contributing to low fecundity and high miscarriage rates in humans. This research aims to uncover evolutionarily inherited traits of human pregnancy and their consequences for our species.
Background
- Research Interests: Human reproduction, mechanisms of embryonic self-organization, evolutionary and developmental history of early pregnancy. Professional Field: Stem cells, blastoid models, implantation and placentation.
Miscellany
- Ethical Framework: Contributed to outlining a roadmap for the gradual and justifiable use of stem cell-based embryo models and promoting an accurate picture of contemporary human embryology to maximize public support and societal benefit.
