    Biosketch

    Dr. Tatjana Sauka-Spengler is a Group leader and MRC Senior Research Fellow at the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Oxford. Prior to that, Dr. Sauka-Spengler was a CIRM Foundation fellow and Senior Research Associate at Caltech, working in the laboratory of Prof. Marianne Bronner. She received an interdisciplinary training in the physical and biological sciences and earned undergraduate degree in Theoretical Physics and graduate degrees in Physics of Solid State and Evolutionary Developmental Biology at the University of Paris 7, Paris, France. Dr. Sauka-Spengler’s research focuses on deciphering and profiling gene regulatory network underlying early steps of neural crest formation in vertebrates. To this end, Dr Sauka-Spengler has been developing, refining and applying advanced technologies for genetic, genomic, epigenomic and transcriptional analyses of neural crest in the embryonic context, with the aim of reconstituting the endogenous developmental program of neural crest induction/initial specification in stem cells.
