Emily Smith

A PhD student at the University of East Anglia, Emily is a developmental biologist working on the epigenetic regulation of muscle, tendon, and cartilage development. This work broadly involves understanding and underpinning the genetic regulatory networks involved with somite development in chicken embryos, and the key genetic switches that are fundamental for a working musculoskeletal system. Whilst she loves being in the lab, Emily is also keen to explain her work and have an open dialogue to the general public.
