Thorsten Boroviak

Thorsten Boroviak is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on embryogenesis, pluripotency, extraembryonic stem cells, and gastrulation. He employs techniques such as transcriptional and epigenetic profiling, combined single-cell RNA-seq, bisulfite sequencing, and computational analysis to study early primate development, particularly in marmoset embryos. His work aims to elucidate cell-fate decisions during this critical stage.

Thorsten E. Boroviak is an Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge, specializing in primate embryogenesis, embryo models, pluripotency, extraembryonic lineages, and gastrulation. His research explores the molecular mechanisms underlying early development, including the emergence of pluripotency, lineage segregation, and the role of metabolic regulation in stem cell maintenance. Boroviak's work integrates single-cell transcriptomics, spatial profiling, and functional assays to dissect the dynamics of human and primate preimplantation development. His studies also address the evolutionary divergence of implantation modes and the establishment of the placenta, with implications for understanding human development and disease.
