Emma Rawlins PhD

Emma Rawlins is an MRC Senior Non-Clinical Fellow at the Gurdon Institute, University of Cambridge. Her lab works on lung stem cells and lung development. The Rawlins lab investigates the mechanisms which control stem cell behaviour in the developing and adult lungs. We are most interested in how the stem cells in the normally-developing human lung know which type of daughter cell they need to make and when. Our approach is to combine human organoid technology with the power of mouse genetics to understand the control of lung stem cell behaviour at the single cell level.
