Invited speaker: Margarida Cardoso from the Francis Crick Institute

Margarida is a highly enthusiastic scientist conducting outstanding research on how new organs originate and how they evolve in form and function across species, using the placenta in fishes 🐟 as one of her main model systems. Her lab investigates the genetic, cellular, and developmental mechanisms underlying the repeated and independent evolution of placentas in mammals 🐁 and fishes 🐟. Don’t miss the opportunity to discover her exciting science and meet her in person!

Title of the seminar: The evolution of new cell types and organs.
