معرفی
Matthew Stower is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the University of Oxford's Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG), working within the Srinivas Group. His research focuses on epithelial tissue morphogenesis, cellular mechanisms of cell migration, cytoskeletal regulation, and cell polarity in developmental contexts.
- Education:
- BSc in Biological Sciences (First Class Hons) at University of Exeter
- MRes in Regenerative Medicine at University of Bath (BBSRC scholarship)
- PhD at University College London under Claudio Stern FRS
Matthew's work involves live imaging techniques to study fundamental developmental processes. His collaborative research includes Evo-Devo projects with Dr. Federica Bertocchini (University of Cantabria) and Dr. Isabelle Migeotte (Université Libre de Bruxelles). He also contributes to teaching and mentoring undergraduate and postgraduate students.
Analysis of his publications reveals expertise in gastrulation, neural induction, and comparative embryology across amniotes (reptiles, Xenopus, chick). His research spans molecular mechanisms (e.g., BMP inhibition, organizer signaling) and morphological evolution (blastopore-primitive streak transition).
Matthew actively participates in the DPAG PostDoc Research Society and supports the department's commitment to equality, inclusivity, and career development.
