Public defence of the dissertation titled "Unravelling cell fate decisions through single cell methods and mathematical models" by Maria Mircea.

PhD student: Maria Mircea

How does an embryonic stem cell decide if it becomes a heart cell or a kidney cell? That’s the question computational biologist Maria Mircea studied for her PhD research. She looked at the inside of individual cells to analyse how they change. Read more about Maria's research in this LION's newsarticle on "The career choices of cells".
