Miki Ebisuya
Miki Ebisuya did her under graduate and PhD research at Kyoto University, Japan. After getting her PhD in 2008, she became a group leader at Kyoto University in 2009. Her lab moved to RIKEN in 2013, and then moved again to EMBL Barcelona, Spain, in 2018. The research interest of her group is to reconstitute/recapitulate developmental mechanisms in cell culture.
Why did you choose to start a lab at EMBL Barcelona?
I wanted to change my research environment completely so that I could meet new people. Spain is ~10000 km away from Japan (far enough!), and I liked the location and culture of the institute.
What could the SEBD do for you?
This is my very first SEBD. I was not trained as a developmental biologist but always amazed by the beauty and wonder of development. SEBD should be the hub to connect Spain-based developmental biologists as well as the place to promote the field of developmental biology.
What are the big open questions in the field?
I am interested in how different species develop with different times and sizes. Recent advances of in vitro models, such as organoids, offer unique opportunities to study species-specific time and size.
