Prof. Aleksandar Vje\u0161tica<\/strong><\/p>\n

After undergraduate studies at University of Belgrade in Serbia, Aleksandar obtained a PhD from the National University of Singapore under mentorship of Snezhana Oliferenko. He then moved to Sophie Martin\u2019s group where he discovered how fungal zygotes prevent re-fertilization. Currently he is an Assistant Professor at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland and continues to study the mechanisms of zygotic specification and development.<\/p>\n

Dr Claudia Salat Canela<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cl\u00e0udia obtained a bachelor diploma in Biotechnology at URV, Tarragona and a master\u2019s degree in Biomedical Research from UPF, Barcelona. She joined Elena Hidalgo and Jos\u00e9 Ayt\u00e9\u2019s groups for her doctoral studies, where she focused on the role of MAP kinases in regulating transcription and cell polarity upon stress in fission yeast. Currently, as a post-doctoral researcher, she is interested in the molecular mechanisms driving zygotic fate in fission yeast, with a particular interest in RNA-binding proteins and membrane-less organelles.<\/p>\n

Dr Celso Martins <\/strong><\/p>\n

Celso Martins received his bachelor and master degrees in Biology and Microbiology at the University of Aveiro, Portugal. He then obtained a PhD in Cristina Silva Pereira\u2019s lab at ITQB NOVA studying the impacts pollutants exert on fungal communities. Celso joined the lab to study how re\u2011fertilization blocks affect the adaptive fitness in fungi.<\/p>\n

Ayokunle Araoyinbo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following his B.Sc in Microbiology at Adekunle Ajasin University in Nigeria, Ayo obtained his Masters at Leeds Beckett University, UK. His initial work focused on functional and molecular characterisation of the adenosine nucleotide transporters in budding yeast. Ayo then became CBMnet fellow and worked on developing yeast strains to metabolise distillery waste. He joined the Vjestica\u2019s group to study how molecular signaling drives zygotic specification in fission yeast.<\/p>\n

An\u0111ela Bran\u010di\u0107 Tri\u010dkovi\u0107 <\/strong><\/p>\n

An\u0111ela Bran\u010di\u0107 Tri\u010dkovi\u0107 received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Molecular Biology and Physiology at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. Her master thesis characterized prostate cancer cell lines through bioinformatics analysis of genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data. An\u0111ela joined the Vje\u0161tica lab to study how fertilization triggers zygote-specific transcription.<\/p>\n

Arianna Ravera <\/strong><\/p>\n

Arianna is a data analyst who received her bachelor degree from Politecnico di Torino in Italy and a master degree from the joint program with Uppsala University, Sweden. After working as a consultant in industry, she joined the University of Lausanne as an Image Processing Engineer in 2022. In the Vje\u0161tica lab, Arianna has been implementing machine learning tools to automate image analyses of fission yeast.<\/p>\n

Dr Julien Dorier <\/strong><\/p>\n

Julien was trained as a physicist and obtained both MSc and PhD from EPFL in Switzerland. After joining the University of Lausanne, he worked on models for chromatin organization and gained skills in sequencing analyses. Julien works with the Vje\u0161tica team to develop and automate machine learning tools for segmentation and tracking of fission yeast cells.<\/p>\n

Camille Schmidt <\/strong><\/p>\n

Camille Schmidt joined the lab as a master student at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
\nDuring her time in the lab, Camille developed a tool to inactivate a protein of interest specifically post-fertilization. She then moved to Jolanda van Leeuwen’s group at University of Lausanne.<\/p>\n
