Join us for the finale of the Stem Cell Seminar Series with Sophie Sanchez, an Associate Senior Lecturer at Uppsala University's Department of Organismal Biology, as she discusses the evolution of hematopoiesis during the transition from water to land. Discover the incredible adaptability of life on Earth and some of its potential biomedical implications in this engaging talk!

Sophie Sanchez is a palaeontologist at the Department of Organismal Biology at Uppsala University. Her research focuses on the evolution of musculature in the first four-legged animals, which allowed them to move onto land. She uses advanced methods to study three-dimensional microstructures in the bones of four-legged fossils to understand how the interaction between muscles and bones evolved. Sanchez's latest discovery of bone marrow in fish fins from 370 million years ago raises hope for answering how limbs once evolved.
