Ehsan Habibi and Yulia Shwartz
Ehsan Habibi, Ph.D.
Dr. Ehsan Habibi is a postdoctoral associate at the Broad Institute in the Chen Lab. Dr. Habibi obtained his Ph.D. degree with cum laude distinction in molecular biology from Radboud University in the Netherlands under the supervision of Prof. Henk Stunnenberg. He is currently interested in using and developing in situ/single cell quantification methods to understand embryogenesis and tissue formation. He will be presenting a seminar titled “Towards Understanding the Principles of Self-organization in Developing Embryo: A Systems Biology Perspective”.
Yulia Shwartz, Ph.D.
Dr. Yulia Shwartz is a post-doctoral fellow in the Hsu Lab at HSCRB. She received her Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Dr. Shwartz uses stem cells to explore why our bodies become less efficient at wound healing as we age. She is creating tools to explore how different genes influence wound healing over time, aiming to identify methods for rejuvenating aged stem cells, which could help to address non-healing and chronic wounds. She will be presenting a practice chalk talk.
