First person – Sapna Chhabra

Abstract

First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Sapna Chhabra is first author on ‘ BMP-treated human embryonic stem cells transcriptionally resemble amnion cells in the monkey embryo’, published in BiO. Sapna is a postdoc in the lab of Alexander Aulehla at EMBL Heidelberg, Germany, investigating how organisms develop robustly in a variable environment.
