Dr. Teresa Rayon

Biography

Teresa Rayon is affiliated with the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and the Babraham Institute, where her research focuses on the molecular and metabolic mechanisms that regulate biological timing. Her laboratory investigates the regulatory dynamics of development and homeostasis, with an emphasis on comparative stem cell models derived from human and mouse embryos. By employing genetic and pharmacological manipulations, as well as advanced techniques such as flow cytometry, imaging, and genome-wide approaches, her work aims to identify physiological mechanisms that modulate timing in developmental processes. This research has significant implications in the fields of human-assisted reproduction, regenerative medicine, and aging, targeting the manipulation of developmental timing in order to generate clinically relevant cell types more efficiently and extend lifespan.
