Title: “How life finds a way: resilience in mammalian embryogenesis​”

Abstract: TBC

Short bio: Dr. Sarah Bowling is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Developmental Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Her laboratory focuses on understanding the mechanisms governing resilience in mammalian embryogenesis – i.e. determining how embryos withstand and recover from diverse genetic and environmental perturbations. Sarah carried out her PhD at Imperial College London, where her work focused on understanding the mechanisms and roles of cell competition during early mammalian development. For her postdoctoral research at Boston Children’s Hospital and the Harvard Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology she co-developed new lineage tracing mouse models that enable the simultaneous tracing of millions of cells in vivo with unique, transcribed cellular barcodes. Her laboratory uses a combination of classical embryological approaches combined with next-generation tools to understand cell behavior during embryogenesis.
