Stanford University School of Medicine, United States
Dr. Lucy Erin O’Brien received her B.A. magna cum laude in Biochemistry from Harvard University and her Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of California, San Francisco, studying epithelial cell organoids with Professor Keith Mostov. Dr. O'Brien performed postdoctoral research at the University of California, Berkeley, studying Drosophila intestinal stem cells with Professor David Bilder. Dr. O'Brien Her research uses the adult Drosophila intestine to ask fundamental questions about how stem cells work together for healthy organ function over an animal’s lifetime. Dr. O'Brien and her team have pioneered imaging methodologies to watch single cells and whole organs in live animals over multiple days and have developed new genetic and analytical platforms to monitor stem cell behaviors in space and time.
