The newly established Boroviak lab is looking to recruit a highly enthusiastic individual to carry out ground-breaking research on primate embryogenesis. Recent advances in the field have shown that early human and non-human primate development substantially differs from the rodent paradigm. This divergence has dramatic implications for our understanding of germ cell specification, placental development and pluripotency in the embryo and embryonic stem cells.  [More]
