Pathway to Independence - an interview with Clotilde Cadart

Abstract

Clotilde Cadart undertook her PhD thesis with Matthieu Piel at the Curie Institute in Paris, before moving on to a postdoc with Rebecca Heald at the University of California Berkeley. Her interests lie in understanding the links between cell ploidy, cell size, metabolism and developmental progress. Clotilde is one of Development's Pathway to Independence Programme Fellows, and we caught up with her over Zoom to find out why she left medical school to become a researcher, and what she hopes to achieve in her own lab.
