Dr Anna Strobl

I recently joined the Stern lab as a postdoctoral research associate in the department of Cell and Developmental Biology, UCL. The aim of my project is to better understand the mechanism behind neural induction in chicken and Xenopus. Telephone (Office): 020 3108 4045 Email: ucbpast@live.ucl.ac.uk
