DI PAN, Msc (he/him/his)

Australian National University, Australia

Di Pan is a DAAD visiting fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Germany, as well as a PhD candidate at the Australian National University in Australia. With long-term academic training in regenerative biology, his master's and doctoral research, now nearing completion, focus on injury-induced regeneration in calcareous sponges.
In his talk, he will present findings from one of the earliest-diverging metazoans: the construction of what is potentially the first known single-cell atlas of calcareous sponges, and the investigation of dynamic gene expression patterns during the injury response. His study attempts to provide a deeper characterisation, at single-cell resolution, of how early-diverging metazoans coordinate cellular responses, thereby offering novel insights into the evolution of regenerative capacity.
