Marta Shahbazi is a Program Leader Track at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology. She obtained her PhD in 2013 at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre. During her PhD she studied how microtubules regulate cell-cell adhesion in epidermal stem cells. In 2014 she joined the laboratory of Prof. Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz at the University of Cambridge as a post-doctoral fellow, to study mammalian embryo development at implantation. She joined the LMB in February 2020.
