Mekayla Storer is a researcher in the Department of Physiology, Development Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on regenerative biology, specifically the ability of mammals to regenerate limbs and the mechanisms that enable this process. Remarkably, certain species, including mice and humans, can regenerate the distal portions of digit tips after amputation. Storer aims to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms that allow for regeneration rather than scar formation. To achieve these goals, she combines in vitro systems with single-cell multi-omics methods and in vivo genetic lineage tracing studies. Her work is aimed at unlocking the regenerative potential of various tissues in the body. Storer collaborates with prominent researchers in her field, including Dr. Kevin Chalut, Professor Bertie Gottgens, and Dr. Sarah Teichmann.
