Maria Rostovskaya, PhD

Babraham Institute

Maria Rostovskaya studies early human embryo development and cell fate decisions using pluripotent stem cells. She obtained PhD from International Max-Plank Research School in Dresden, working on differentiation of bone marrow skeletal progenitors. There, she also worked on genetic manipulation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and was one of the first in the world to achieve successful gene targeting and transgenesis in hPSCs. In 2013, she joined laboratory of Prof. Austin Smith at Cambridge Stem Cell Institute to work on pluripotency in human, where she established an in vitro system modelling development of human peri-implantation epiblast. In 2019, she moved to laboratory of Prof. Wolf Reik at Babraham Institute, Cambridge, to study segregation of lineages in human development including epigenetic regulation, using this system.
