Biography

Dr. Oliver Stone is a Wellcome Sir Henry Dale Fellow and PhD Group Leader at the Department of Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics (DPAG) at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on understanding the developmental processes that specify the diverse array of heterogeneous cell subtypes found in vertebrate vasculature. Oliver's work investigates the dynamic interplay of cell growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis in the context of embryonic development. He completed his PhD at the University of Bristol studying neovascularization of adult tissues under the supervision of David Bates, followed by postdoctoral training with Didier Stainier at the University of California, San Francisco, and the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research.
