Nancy Papalopulu Biography

Nancy Papalopulu is one of the most popular and richest Researcher who was born on March 26, 1962 in Greece.

In 1991, she moved to La Jolla, California to do postdoctoral work under the supervision of Chris Kintner at the Salk Institute. There she continued to investigate factors controlling neuronal patterning in the vertebrate embryo using Xenopus as a model system. It was at this point she began to become interested in how the timing of neuronal differentiation is controlled. In 1997, Nancy was awarded a Wellcome Trust Career Developmental Award and moved back to the UK to set up her own lab at the Gurdon Institute at the University of Cambridge to pursue this question. In Cambridge, Nancy shared lab space with Sir John Gurdon, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012 for his seminal work on Xenopus embryos that has underpinned our understanding of nuclear reprogramming. Her own work, and that of her lab members, focused on understanding how the cell cycle, cell polarity and location controls the balance of neuronal progenitor cell maintenance and differentiation in the developing vertebrate nervous system.

In 2006 she moved her lab to the University of Manchester, where she became Research Group Leader of the Developmental Biology group in the Faculty of Life Sciences. In Manchester she has continued to investigate how the timing of neurogenesis is regulated during vertebrate development. Using computational modeling and experimental biology her group has discovered that oscillations of the microRNA miR-9 targets an important regulator of neuronal differentiation, HES1, allowing for precisely timed waves of neurogenesis. From January 2011 – January 2014, Nancy was Tissue Systems Section Head, representing Developmental Biology and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell- Matrix Research, approximately 40 research groups in the Faculty of Life Sciences. She is also an active member of the university’s Women in Science group.
