Quantitative stem cell biologist and group leader @TheCrick Institute. Cell decision-making. Cell fate and cell division. @Stanford, @EMBL alumna. ENTP. Mum. Diver.
We had a blast tonight at the ‘Curious about the Crick’ event showcasing the science in our lab. Lots of enthusiasm and so many interesting questions. Was awesome to share this with my wonderful lab from brainstorming to communicating the science we love. Thank you to @crick.ac.uk for having us

Big welcome to new postdoc Javier de Haro Arbona @fjavierdha.bsky.social, developmental biologist at heart and coming from Sarah Bray’s lab in Cambridge! Javier has been very interested in how signals are decoded and fate decisions encoded. We are lucky to have him join our lab!

Big welcome to the lab to physicist turned quantitative biologist Beth Westbrook @bethwestbrook.bsky.social! Beth did her PhD in Jonathan Chubb’s lab at UCL and has been very interested in how fate transitions are coordinated. We are lucky she joined our lab for her postdoc!
