CONTACT:Dr Stefano Pluchino
DESCRIPTION:Homa completed here PhD here at the University of Cambridge in
  Prof. Edmund Kunji's lab at MRC-Mitochondrial Biology Unit where she deve
 loped high-throughput methods for identification of mitochondrial carriers
  and other membrane transporters. She then moved to U.S. for her postdocto
 ral research in Dr. Faranak Fattahi's lab at University of California\, Sa
 n Francisco (UCSF) where she has developed hPSC-derived models of human pe
 ripheral nervous system including the enteric nervous system for disease m
 odeling and drug discovery. Homa's postdoc research has earned fellowships
  from the NIH\, Larry L. Hillblom foundation (LLHF)\, and Program for Brea
 kthrough Biomedical Research (PBBR).\n\nJoin via Zoom:\nhttps://zoom.us/j/
