Laura Peces-Barba Castaño , PhD student

Laura holds a degree in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Aberdeen (Scotland). During this time, she also did an Industrial Placement at the Francis Crick Institute working with malaria parasites. Currently, Laura is undertaking a PhD in heart regeneration in the Stainier Department (Max Planck Institute), where she aims to discover the mechanisms leading to heart regeneration in the zebrafish.
