معرفی
Dr. Teresa Rayon is an affiliated principal investigator at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, University of Cambridge, with her primary affiliation at the Babraham Institute. She leads the Comparative Stem Cell Dynamics Lab focused on understanding the regulatory mechanisms controlling biological timing in development and homeostasis across species.
Her research interests center on biological timing mechanisms, specifically investigating the molecular and metabolic controls that determine species-specific developmental tempo. Dr. Rayon's work explores how protein degradation pathways influence developmental timing and whether these mechanisms can be modulated to potentially extend lifespan or accelerate cell differentiation for regenerative medicine applications.
Her recent publication analyzes protein degradation in neural progenitors across mouse and human models, revealing fundamental differences in developmental tempo. This work contributes to understanding the evolutionary conservation of timing mechanisms in stem cell differentiation.
Dr. Rayon's research has potential implications for human assisted reproduction, regenerative medicine, and aging research, with the long-term goal of developing methods to precisely modulate biological timing processes.
