Thorsten Edwin Boroviak is a Principal Investigator in the Laboratory for Primate Embryogenesis at the University of Cambridge's Department of Physiology, Development Neuroscience. His research focuses on embryonic cells and their organization into complex life forms, particularly in humans and non-human primates. Thorsten's work involves high-throughput sequencing of single cells, embryonic stem cell culture, and bioengineering stem cell-based embryo models to provide insights into human development. Originally from Austria, he studied Molecular Biology at the University of Vienna, where he completed his master's thesis in 2007 before accepting a PhD fellowship at the University of Sheffield, exploring neuronal differentiation in mouse embryonic stem cells. His postdoctoral research included genome-wide comparisons of mouse and non-human primate development, and the pioneering of methods to investigate early developmental processes. Thorsten leads initiatives at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and the Centre for Trophoblast Research, enhancing the understanding of mammalian gastrulation and embryogenesis.
