معرفی
Cerys Manning is a Presidential Fellow (Research) in the Division of Developmental Biology & Medicine (L5) at the School of Medicine, University of Manchester. She conducts cutting-edge research at the intersection of developmental biology, neuroscience, and mathematical modeling, with a particular focus on eye development and ocular disorders.
Her research interests include:
- Cell fate decisions between proliferation and differentiation
- Single-cell live imaging techniques
- Quantitative analysis of mRNA and protein expression
- Mathematical modeling of developmental processes
- Notch signaling pathway dynamics
- Neurogenesis and neural development
Dr. Manning's recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in understanding spatial and temporal dynamics of cell signaling during development, particularly focusing on how single-cell expression patterns correlate with cell fate decisions. Her work bridges experimental biology with computational approaches to reveal fundamental mechanisms of organ development.
Her scientific achievements have been recognized through prestigious awards:
- Medical Research Council - Career Development Award (2021)
- Presidential Fellowship from the University of Manchester (March 2019)
- Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowship (2015)
Dr. Manning actively collaborates with researchers across multiple institutions including the University of Edinburgh, Newcastle University, University of St Andrews, and The Francis Crick Institute. She is currently accepting PhD students for research projects related to her work on cell fate decisions and eye development. Her research group works at the interface of developmental biology, mathematics, and ocular genetics to address fundamental questions about how organs form and how developmental errors lead to disorders.
