Clementine Villeneuve, PhD, Postdoctoral researcher, Department of Cell and Tissue Dynamics, Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine, Germany
Clementine is interested by the dynamics of epithelial tissues and how cells communicate to coordinate their behavior across scales. Using the developing murine epidermis, she sought to understand the complex relationship between stem cell (SC) fate and tissue dynamics during two developmental processes: the hair follicle (HF) placode development and the formation of the stratified epidermis. To decipher how cell state transitions and the dynamic positioning of cells is coordinated through cell- and tissue scale mechanics during development, she is using a highly interdisciplinary approach including mouse genetics, mechanobiology tools, spatial transcriptomics, 3D vertex modeling and quantitative imaging.
