I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2001 with a BA in Natural Sciences, having specialised in Developmental Biology in my final year. The following October
I started working as a Research Assistant in the Skaer lab. The lure
of the Malpighian tubules proved too powerful to resist and so I stayed on,
starting my Ph.D a year later. My project focuses on how cell polarity
is both established and maintained in the Malpighain tubules. During my Ph.D I have developed a system that allows us to follow the behaviour of both the principal cells and the stellate cells in living embryos.
1. 3-D rotation of a renal tubule in a stage 16 embryo.
2. Convergent-extension movements in the renal tubules. 3. Stellate cells integrating into the renal tubules.
