Department of Human Anatomy and Genetics, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK Gillian Morriss-Kay is Emeritus Professor of Developmental Anatomy at the University of Oxford, where she taught embryology, histology and anatomy to medical students. Her research goal, using first rat, then mouse embryos, was to enhance understanding of normal and abnormal human development, especially of the craniofacial region and neural tube. This led to collaborative mouse-human work on the developmental genetics and morphogenesis of craniosynostosis. She was editor of the Journal of Anatomy for ten years. Shankar Srinivas has a research career spanning 30 years, focusing on mouse developmental genetics (kidney, peri-implantation embryology, gastrulation and early cardiogenesis). More recently his work involves also using human embryos to understand early cell type diversification and cardiogenesis. He teaches anatomy and embryology to medical students. In 2004 Dr. Srinivas started his independent group at the University of Oxford as a Wellcome Trust Career Development Fellow and as Zeitlyn Fellow and Tutor in Medicine at Jesus College. In 2016 he became Professor of Developmental Biology. His research group studies how the coordinated cell movements that shape the early mammalian embryo prior to and during gastrulation are controlled and understanding how the heart forms and starts to beat. His group takes a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to address these questions, using techniques spanning molecular genetics, lightsheet and confocal time-lapse imaging, single cell approaches, proteomics and embryo explant culture.
