Reprogramming Stars #5:Regeneration, a Natural Reprogramming Process—An Interview with Dr. Nicholas Leigh

Reprogramming star: Dr. Nick Leigh is an associate senior lecturer (assistant professor) at Lund University. The Leigh laboratory is working to understand how the immune system of highly regenerative organisms, such as salamanders, facilitates extreme acts of complex multitissue regeneration (e.g., limb regeneration). He is studying regeneration through an immunological perspective and approach, understanding how salamander cells are able to effortlessly dedifferentiate and form progenitor cells capable of facilitating multitissue regeneration.
