Biography

Claire Senner is a University Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge, focused on the processes involved in embryo implantation, placental development, and the establishment and maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. Her research emphasizes understanding the molecular mechanisms that underpin early developmental processes, with an interest in the post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that play a crucial role in mammalian reproduction and development. Senner specifically studies pathways controlling mRNA stability and decay during key cell state transitions in the early post-implantation period, which is pivotal in addressing issues related to pregnancy loss. At her laboratory, she utilizes embryonic trophoblast stem cells and in vivo models to investigate the RNA decay factors that contribute to normal development, with a focus on placental trophoblast lineages that are essential for reproductive success.
