Cecilia Moens
Cecilia Moens is an American developmental biologist, who runs a research lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. Her lab researches the early development of the vertebrate brain using zebrafish as a model organism.
Education and research[edit]
Moens became interested in science as a child, working in her father's lab from a young age.[1] She received her Bachelor of Science at York University in 1987, and then her PhD in Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto in 1993. After her PhD, she was a postdoctoral fellow in Charles Kimmel's lab at the University of Oregon,[2] where she conducted a screen looking for genes that controlled the development of hindbrain neurons.[3] In 1998, she joined the faculty at Fred Hutch in Seattle, Washington,[4] where she runs a lab that studies fundamental mechanisms underlying the development of the vertebrate brain using the zebrafish as a model organism.[5]
Awards and honors[edit]
- U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (2000)[6]
- Basil O'Connor Starter Scholar Award (1999-2001)[7]
- Human Frontier Science Program Long-Term Fellowship (1994-1996)[8]
- Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator (2000-2012)[9]
