Cecilia L. Winata
Lab leader at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw, Poland
Dr. Cecilia Winata obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biology at the National University of Singapore. In 2009, she obtained her PhD in 2009 from the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Profs. Gong Zhiyuan and Vladimir Korzh. She then joined the Genome Institute of Singapore as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Sinnakaruppan Mathavan, where she picked up genomics and applied them to study gene regulation in maternal to zygotic transition and functional characterization of the Zic3 transcription factor. Since 2014, she became a Max Planck/IIMCB group leader at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw, Poland. Her lab studies transcriptional regulation and epigenetics during heart development, as well as post-transcriptional regulation of maternal mRNAs in early embryonic development in zebrafish.
