Dr. Valentina Greco is the Carolyn Slayman Professor of Genetics at Yale University. Her lab has developed novel live imaging approaches to track and manipulate stem cells in live animals, allowing them to study the complex orchestration of tissue regeneration using the skin as a model system.

Her team’s paper in Cell, published in 2018, describes how skin fibroblasts remain in a stable position over time to maintain their homeostasis in vivo.
