Development presents… neural development
Posted by the Node, on 16 February 2026
In February, we hear from three early-career researchers studying neural development. Chaired by one of Development’s first Pathway to Independence fellows, Polina Kameneva, Principal Investigator at St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) in Vienna, Austria. Polina’s group uses 2D and 3D human stem cell models to recapitulate adrenal gland cell development to understand the onset of neuroblastoma.
