Dr. Mansi Srivastava
November 26
Dr. Mansi Srivastava is Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University. Her lab seeks to identify cellular and genetic mechanisms for regeneration by comparing mechanisms across distantly-related animals. Their model, the acoel worm, Hofstenia miamia, a.k.a. the three-banded panther worm, belongs to a lineage that is distantly-related to traditional regenerative model invertebrates such as planarians and hydra.
