Marta Shahbazi is a group leader at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB). She obtained her Ph.D. in 2013 at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre, and in 2014 she joined the laboratory of Prof. Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz at the University of Cambridge to study mammalian embryo development at implantation. As a post-doctoral fellow, she developed a method to culture human embryos beyond implantation in vitro. She has used this methodology to study tissue morphogenesis, cell fate specification, and the development of aneuploid human embryos. She joined the LMBin February 2020 to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the self-organisation of the early mammalian embryo.
