Tatjana Piotrowski, PhD profile page

Tatjana Piotrowski, PhD, a developmental biologist, is an investigator at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. The Piotrowski Lab aims to dissect complex developmental and regenerative processes in vivo and at high resolution. The team studies these processes both at the cellular and molecular/genomics level using the sensory lateral line of zebrafish as a relatively simple system to shed light on the molecular and cellular basis of complex vertebrate development and regeneration.

Piotrowski and her team continue to focus on the molecular and genetic processes involved in development and regeneration, and believe that uncovering the responsible mechanisms may pave the way for engineering organ regeneration in other species like humans.
