Rashmi Priya She has diverse research interests and her career has spanned across three continents. She did her Masters from India where she was supported by scholarships to work on the cell biology of malaria parasites (JNU, New Delhi) and cancer metastasis (CRI-TMC, Mumbai). For her PhD, Rashmi secured international PhD fellowships and moved to Australia, to work with Alpha Yap at IMB, UQ. During her PhD, she discovered novel signalling pathways required to maintain epithelial tissue integrity during health and disease. For her postdoctoral training, Rashmi moved to Germany to work with Didier Stainier at Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research, Germany. She was awarded fellowships from EMBO and Humboldt foundation and a DFG research grant. During her post-doc, Rashmi used her interdisciplinary background to provide novel insights into cardiac trabeculation, a less understood process critical for heart function. In February 2021, Rashmi started her own lab at the Francis Crick Institute, London. Her lab integrates developmental genetics and quantitative cell/tissue mechanics to address how organs are shaped inside a developing embryo.
