Marta Shahbazi's research is primarily focused on the unique capacity of pluripotent stem cells to generate the various cell types of an organism. Her group investigates how molecular mechanisms coordinate shape and identity during embryonic development, particularly how changes in tissue architecture influence pluripotent stem cell identity and differentiation. She aims to unravel the molecular basis of human embryogenesis and how stem cell fate is determined by the intricate interplay between fate and shape during development. Her work also seeks to explore the role of conserved molecular pathways in the transition of cells from pluripotency to differentiation, especially in the context of tissue regeneration and repair. This line of research holds great potential for uncovering the fundamental rules that govern morphogenesis and regenerative processes in both embryonic and adult tissues.
