About the speaker:
Dr. Anna Czarkwiani completed her Bachelor of Science in Human Genetics and Master of Research in Stem Cells and Development at the University College London. In 2012, she was awarded a Wellcome Trust PhD Studentship to pursue her doctorate in developmental and stem cell biology, working with Prof. Paola Oliveri on the regeneration of the skeleton in the brittle star.
In 2018, she received a Humboldt Research Fellowship to join the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD), where she worked with Dr. Maximina H. Yun on thymus regeneration in axolotl. Her achievements have been widely recognized. In 2022, she received the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science award. In 2023, Dr. Czarkwiani was awarded a Maria Reiche Postdoctoral Fellowship from TU Dresden to support her in establishing her independent research on the regeneration of the gravisensation organ in the axolotl.
