I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Medical Biochemistry from the University of Surrey in 1995. I was then awarded an MSc with Distinction in Medical Genetics with Immunology from Brunel University London in 1996 and completed my PhD in Molecular Endocrinology from the University of Warwick in 2000.\nI then undertook post-doctoral appointments at the University of Warwick, including a VIP Research Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust. I was appointed as Lecturer in Endocrinology at the University of Warwick from 2005-2006 and then transferred to Brunel University London as a Lecturer in Biomedical Sciences in June 2006. I am currently a Reader in the Division of Biomedical Sciences.
The division of cells and the movement of genes and chromosomes within them, which is crucial to the development of a fetus, also works with and against the force of gravity as we know it on Earth. It follows that systems evolved to work perfectly in Earth's gravity may be affected when the force of gravity changes., the rate of division can be faster at one end of the embryo than the other.
Gravity also helps to establish the correct body plan of a fetus, ensuring the right cells develop in the right places in the right numbers and in the right spatial orientation." and can develop into all cells of the body, are affected by microgravity. At present, there is that when rodent embryonic stem cells are subjected to microgravity, their ability to become the desired cell types may be impacted.
It is also possible to produce pluripotent human stem cells from normal mature cells of our bodies, which are called . These have also been studied under microgravity, with experiments on Earth finding that induced stem cells

PD-1-cis IL-2R agonism yields better effectors from stem-like CD8+ T cells - NatureBinding of the PD1-IL2v immunocytokine to PD-1 and IL-2Rβγ on the same cell leads to an alternative differentiation of stem-like CD8+ T cells into better effectors rather than exhausted T cells in models of both chronic infection and cancer.
