Nature has a remarkable knack for reproducing body and organ size within each species—essentially, your organs are proportionate to your body size. However, the tissue interactions and molecular signaling required to achieve this are not well understood. As a 2025 Schmidt Science Fellow, Jake will combine novel approaches to measure cell behaviour when body size … Continued
Kevin spent his PhD at the Francis Crick Institute, where he developed new techniques to study repetitive DNA sequences and their roles in cancer and autoimmunity. During this time, he took part in vaccinating and processing samples from COVID-19 patients, which sparked his interest in immune responses to vaccination. As a Schmidt Science Fellow, working … Continued
Mar completed her PhD in Immunology at The Francis Crick Institute in London. She studied how immune cells, called dendritic cells, are organized in tissues to fight infection and cancer. She developed new techniques for visualizing and quantifying dendritic cell clusters in 3D. As a Schmidt Science Fellow, Mar worked with Dr. Gonçalo Bernardes and … Continued
