Professor Clare Blackburn is a Group Leader at the University of Edinburgh's MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine. EuroStemCell's Project Co-ordinator and Director of Training and Outreach for the original EuroStemCell, she has been instrumental in getting this website funded, up and running. She's also a Principal Investigator in Framework Seven project Eurosystem.
Clare’s research focuses on the development of the thymus. The thymus plays a central role in the development of the body’s immune system as it is the main site in which T cells are generated. T cells are a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in immunity. Clare's lab recently identified a population of progenitor/stem cells in mice that, on transplantation, is sufficient to generate a fully functional thymus.
