Cellular plasticity and tissue formation at single cell resolution

Anna-Katerina Hadjantonakis, PhD
Chair
Department of Developmental Biology
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
New York, NY, USA

This conference is hosted by Mohan Malleshaiah, PhD. This conference is part of the 2024-2025 IRCM conference calendar.

About this conference
Dr. Hadjantonakis will discuss her laboratory’s efforts to (1) investigate the differential plasticity of cells contemporaneously present in vivo during development using stem cells models and single cell genomics methods, and (2) build 3D models of organogenesis.

About Anna-Katerina Hadjantonakis
Dr. Anna-Katerina (Kat) Hadjantonakis is a member and chair of the Developmental Biology Program, and a member of Center for Stem Cell Biology at the Sloan Kettering Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York). She holds the Alfred P. Sloan endowed chair. Her lab develops and uses genetically engineered mouse models, and combines them with cutting-edge imaging approaches to investigate how cells regulate their identity, and how the collaborate to collectively build tissues in the embryo. Work in mouse models is complemented with mouse and human stem cell and organoid models. Dr Hadjantonakis received a BSc in Biochemistry, and PhD in Molecular Genetics, from Imperial College, London. Thereafter, she pursued postdoctoral training, first with Andras Nagy at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Toronto, and thereafter with Virginia Papaioannou at Columbia University (New York). She established an independent research group at the Sloan Kettering Institute in 2004. She has authored over 220 publications and currently serves as an editor at the journals Development and Science Advances, and is a member of the editorial board of several journals, including Developmental Cell and Stem Cell Reports.
