Stem Cell Reports Author
Nicolas Rivron is a developmental biologist and tissue engineer. He leads the laboratory for blastoid development at the Institute for Molecular Biotechnologies, from the Austrian Academy of Science (Vienna, Austria). His laboratory created a complete model of the pre-implantation embryo formed through the self-organization of stem cells, called blastoid. Uisng blastoids, he investigates the basic principles of self-organization and the human genetic traits that have led to our low fecundity compared to other primates. In the long term, Nicolas Rivron hopes that these discoveries will contribute to solving global health problems related to fertility decline, family planning, and the developmental origin of health and diseases.
