Anchel de Jaime Soguero, Group leader
Wondering how microenvironment impact cellular fate, embryo robustness and genome integrity.
Love hiking/biking in the forest, playing piano, reading historical novels and sharing family time on the weekends.

Gayathri Vilangappurath, PhD researcher
Exploring developmental resilience by studying how early embryonic and extraembryonic lineages respond to oxidative stress and how these responses shape genome across development.
Outside the lab, she enjoys dancing, singing, watching movies and series, and spending time with friends and family.

Begum Boke, PhD researcher
Exploring the role of proteostasis in early mammalian lineages and its links to genome integrity.
Outside the lab, she loves sailing, reading, hiking, and photography.

Jose Manuel Osorio, PhD researcher
Molecular cloning enthusiast developing stress biosensors and studying the mechanisms of genome (in)stability acquisition across naive and primed pluripotency.
Outside the lab, he loves travelling and photography.

ThaissaCavigny, Msc student
Applying stem cell principles to reconstruct in vitro extraembryonic membranes
Outside the lab, I enjoy going to the cinema and baking.
