The University of Sheffield, United Kingdom
Ivana Barbaric completed her DPhil at the University of Oxford in 2006. She then joined Professor Peter Andrews’ group at the University of Sheffield to study the mechanisms that underlie human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) fate. She was appointed to a Group Leader position at the Centre for Stem Cell Biology, Sheffield in 2014. Her group is investigating the causes and consequences of genetic changes in hPSCs, including the impact of genetic aberrations on stem cell fate decisions and lineage specification during early development. Her research on culture-acquired genetic changes in hPSCs is also informing strategies for reliable detection and minimising the occurrence of genetically variant cells for safe and efficient clinical translation of hPSC-based therapies.
