Short biography
Verena Ruprecht is a Group Leader and ICREA Research Professor at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) Barcelona, Spain. She studies how dynamic processes at the single cell level control tissue development and homeostasis. The research of her group builds on a cross-disciplinary approach that combines quantitative methods from physics and biology and bridges in vivo and synthetic bottom-up in vitro systems. She received an HFSP Young Investigator grant (2019), funding from the European Innovation Council (2021), the European Research Council (2022) and was elected as an EMBO Young Investigator (2020).
