Shane Herbert is a Senior Lecturer and Principal Investigator at the University of Manchester, leading research in the Division of Developmental Biology and Medicine. Having obtained a PhD from the University of Leeds in 2006, he was awarded the Wellcome Trust Sir Henry Wellcome Fellowship in 2007, supporting his postdoctoral work in Didier Stainier’s lab at UCSF. In 2011, he established his own laboratory at the University of Manchester after receiving the Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship. His work focuses on understanding the intricate process of tissue morphogenesis, particularly how cell shape dynamics influence cellular behavior during key developmental phases. His lab employs various interdisciplinary techniques including live-cell imaging, optogenetics, and computational modeling to explore cell shape cues and angiogenesis. Shane’s research provides insights into the underlying mechanisms of cell migration and organ development, holding potential therapeutic applications for diseases related to angiogenesis.
