developmental and stem cell biologists
Jette is a Assistant Professor at the University of Helsinki (Finland) since 2021 and at the Karolinska Institutet (Sweden) since in 2023. Jette did her graduate studies at the ETH Zurich (Switzerland) focusing on asymmetric cell division in the lab of Yves Barral. This work started her interest in stem cells. Jette performed her postdoctoral studies at the MIT (US) in the lab of Angelika Amon, where she discovered cellular enlargement as aging factor of blood stem cells. Her independent research team is investigating how blood stem cells fail to maintain their functions during aging and disease.
