Abstract
Eirini Maniou completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Patras, Greece, before moving to the UK to complete a Master's at the University of Bath and a PhD at the University of Dundee. For her postdoctoral work at University College London, Eirini turned her attention to neural tube morphogenesis, and she is now employing engineering principles to explore this developmental process at the University of Padua, Italy, where she is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions postdoctoral fellow. Eirini was selected as one of our 2024 PI fellows, a group of researchers who will be supported by Development's Pathway to Independence Programme as they aim to secure independent positions. We spoke to Eirini to hear more about her career so far, why she decided to apply to the programme and what research questions she would like to address with her own group.
