About this position

Primary Supervisor - Professor Andrea Munsterberg The first organ to develop in vertebrate embryos is the heart, when two streams of cardiac progenitor cells undertake an epic migration before reuniting at the heart field – the site of future heart formation. How do cardiac progenitors achieve this feat? What clues guide them along the way and how do they “read” them? In this exciting PhD project, you will use live cell imaging to track migration of cardiac progenitor cells as they navigate towards the embryonic heart field. You will learn molecular functional approaches to identify the cellul
