Publications

I worked for ten years as a bench scientist, taking on projects in comparative embryology, muscle development and disease, neural crest patterning, and cranial nerve development. I also had the chance to collaborate with computer scientists and biophysicists on techniques for processing and analyzing microscope data. A selection of publications (+ illustrations) from that time is below.

Schematic illustrations published in Development, 2020. Adobe Illustrator.
