Dr Antonia Weberling
Dr Weberling (BSc & MSc Biochemistry, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany) was awarded a PhD Fellowship of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Horizon 2020 International Training Network ImageInLife to complete her PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK, focussing on mouse and human embryogenesis at peri- and early post-implantation stages. Following her PhD, Dr Weberling was awarded a postdoctoral research fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, to build up her independent research. She focusses on understanding early embryogenesis of non- or emerging model organisms of the amniote phylum. Gaining knowledge of embryogenesis in the different families across the amniote phylogenetic tree will enable to carry out cross-species comparative studies to understand the degree of conservation of key developmental processes.
