Dr M Shahbazi

This PhD position focuses on the study of aneuploidy, a condition characterized by an abnormal number of chromosomes, which is generally harmful to cellular and organismal function. Despite its detrimental effects, aneuploid cells are surprisingly prevalent during early human development. The project aims to investigate the mechanisms and implications of aneuploidy in the context of embryogenesis and developmental biology. Hosted at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), the research will provide insights into the paradoxical role of aneuploidy in early life stages, potentially informing broader understanding of human development and genetic stability.
