Professor of Stem Cell Medicine, University of Cambridge
The 37 trillion cells of the human body have a remarkable array of specialised functions and must cooperate and collaborate in time and space to construct a functioning human. Harnessing cutting edge single cell genomics, Sarah’s lab has been attempting to understand this cellular diversity, how it is generated during development and how it goes wrong in disease. Sarah’s talk will illustrate the relevance of cell atlasing to understand the cellular composition of the body, with a particular focus on the distributed immune system and its regulation by distinct tissue microenvironments.
