Episode 138 - Dr Carla Mulas - "Beyond mapping cell states and identities"

StemCells@Lunch Digested

In today’s episode, Dr Carla Mulas, a postdoc in Stem Cell Institue at Cambridge University, is interviewed by PhD student Haneen Alsehi. Carla talks about her amazing research using biophysics to understand cell state transition. She discusses her journey in transiting from a biochemistry background to studying stem cells and their fate commitment, and her keen interest in how stem cells change their properties during differentiation. She talks about the challenge of the current cell state transition field in the need to go beyond mapping cell states and cell identities. She also shares her career insights in identifying what one wants to learn and the necessity of a good mentor.
