Bénédicte Sanson is a Professor of Developmental Morphogenesis at the University of Cambridge, where she leads research in the Department of Physiology, Development Neuroscience. Her research focuses on understanding the genetic blueprint behind 3D tissue architecture and the role of mechanical properties in morphogenesis. By employing model organisms, such as Drosophila embryos, her work investigates fundamental morphogenetic phenomena, including axis extension and compartmental boundary formation, especially during early development. Her interdisciplinary approach combines genetic analyses with quantitative methods to uncover universal rules of morphogenesis. Funding for her research is provided by prestigious organizations such as the Wellcome Trust and BBSRC.
