Mathilda Mommersteeg is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford. She obtained her PhD in 2009 from the University of Amsterdam, where she worked in the laboratories of Prof. Vincent Christoffels and Prof. Antoon Moorman, focusing on the development of the conduction system of the venous pole of the mammalian heart. In 2010, she joined the laboratory of Prof. John Parnavelas at University College London (UCL) as a long-term EMBO fellow. At UCL, her research centered around deciphering the roles of the Slit-Robo signaling pathway in mammalian heart development. She initiated a project on heart regeneration in Mexican cavefish, in collaboration with Dr. Yoshiyuki Yamamoto, which was sponsored by the British Heart Foundation in 2012. Her post-doctoral projects provided the foundation for her current research interests, which involve investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying heart regeneration and development.
