Milou presented her functional dissection of a gene expression oscillator in C. elegans

Marit obtained her Bsc and Msc at the Technical University of Delft and Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, where she studied Nanobiology. She focused on using physics and mathematics to study biology during her studies. Additionally, she participated in the Vienna Biocenter summer school and completed an internship at Lumicks in Amsterdam, gaining experience in microscopy and image analysis. In her PhD, she utilized these skills to study the developmental timing of C. elegans.

Michaela studied Molecular Biosciences at the Centre for Organismal Studies of the University of Heidelberg. After an internship at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine in Barcelona, she worked at the DKFZ in Heidelberg, where she wrote her master thesis and earned an MSc degree in Developmental and Stem Cell Biology. In October 2019, she became a PhD student in the Grosshans Lab, focusing on regulating oscillatory gene expression during C. elegans development.

Saheli holds a Master’s degree in neurogenetics. For her thesis, she worked on the role of circadian clock cells in maintaining sleep homeostasis in Drosophila melanogaster
