Using Organoids to Model Brain Development and Evolution

Iva Kelava is a postdoc in the lab of Madeline Lancaster at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom. She earned her master’s in ecology from the University of Zagreb, in Croatia, before earning her PhD and going on to study mammalian brain development and evolution as a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, Germany. Her current work is centered around brain organoids, which she uses to study human brain development and neurodevelopmental diseases.
