Sarah Robinson

Sarah Robinson is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on plant development, with an emphasis on biomechanics, cell division, growth, and morphogenesis. She employs a range of techniques including timelapse confocal microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and modelling to investigate how cell and organ size and shape are determined. Her work explores the coordination of growth, cell division, and differentiation in plants.

Sarah Robinson is a researcher at the University of Cambridge, focusing on plant development. Her work explores the mechanisms underlying morphogenesis, including the role of mechanical forces, cell polarity, and tissue interactions in shaping plant structures. She has developed tools like MorphoGraphX to quantify morphogenesis in 4D, enabling detailed analysis of growth patterns and cellular dynamics. Her research spans topics such as auxin-mediated growth, cell division mechanics, and the interplay between cell wall properties and developmental processes. By integrating mechanical and genetic approaches, she investigates how spatial patterns and organ morphogenesis are regulated in plants.
