{"title":"Signals, grids, and geometry: In pursuit of understanding cell fate switches","authors":"Clare Hudson","doi":"10.1002/dvg.23546","DOIUrl":"10.1002/dvg.23546","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;After a degree in Biology at the University of Nottingham in the early 90s, I studied for a PhD focusing on frog endoderm formation with Prof. Hugh Woodland at the University of Warwick (Hudson et al., &lt;span&gt;1997&lt;/span&gt;). When I was looking for a lab to do postdoctoral studies, I was undecided whether to continue with &lt;i&gt;Xenopus&lt;/i&gt; or switch to a different system. My fate was sealed at a postdoc interview with Patrick Lemaire at the IBDM in Marseille when I caught his enthusiasm for ascidian embryos, although at that time his lab was still working only with &lt;i&gt;Xenopus&lt;/i&gt;. I accepted the challenge to help him establish ascidians as a model in the lab, but with hindsight I was a little naive, not realizing how much of a challenge it was going to be! During this period, we were fortunate to also have help from experienced ascidian embryologists Hitoyoshi Yasuo and Sébastien Darras. What attracted me most about ascidian embryos, as a developmental biologist, was the invariant cell division pattern and lineage, which is extremely useful, as it allows one to identify and name the same cell in every embryo and thus to know the embryonic origin and eventual fate of cells as they progress through each developmental transition. In that pre-genomic era, I started off looking for homologues of vertebrate regulatory genes using degenerate PCR. A breakthrough came when I isolated a couple of genes expressed in neural tissue (&lt;i&gt;Otx&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Gsx&lt;/i&gt;) and the next step of my adventure with ascidians began. In Patrick's lab, I focused mainly on neural induction in ectoderm cells (“brain” induction) and the role of the FGF-ERK signaling pathway, work which contributed to a more molecular understanding of this process (Hudson &amp; Lemaire, &lt;span&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;). In 2003, I became a staff scientist of the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), joining the “Cell Fate” team led by Hitoyoshi Yasuo (“Yas”) in the Laboratoire de Biologie du Développement de Villefranche-sur-mer (LBDV).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My studies were greatly inspired by beautiful descriptions from the laboratory of Dr. Ian Meinertzhagen, showing the regular grid-like organization of the developing neural plate and the ordered pattern of neural plate cell divisions (Nicol &amp; Meinertzhagen, &lt;span&gt;1988&lt;/span&gt;). These neural plate maps helped us show that each neural plate cell is characterized by a unique gene expression profile (Esposito et al., &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;; Hudson et al., &lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;; Hudson &amp; Lemaire, &lt;span&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;; Hudson &amp; Yasuo, &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;). We could then show how the neural plate is patterned across the medial-lateral axis by Nodal and Delta/Notch signals and along the anterior–posterior axis by differential ERK activity (Esposito et al., &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;; Haupaix et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;; Hudson et al., &lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;; Hudson &amp; Yasuo, &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;; Figure 1a).

Stefaniak","doi":"10.1002/dvg.23548","DOIUrl":"10.1002/dvg.23548","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;My research focuses on the biodiversity and biogeography of ascidians, the mechanisms controlling the distribution of species and communities, and how human activities, such as shipping, coastal hardening, and climate changes can alter those distributions.

It started in 2005 when I joined Dr. Robert Whitlatch's lab at the University of Connecticut as a PhD student. Bob was working on introduced species in fouling communities, which means lots of ascidians. The newest ascidian was &lt;i&gt;Didemnum vexillum&lt;/i&gt;, though that name was still uncertain at the time. Then, the following summer, I was fortunate enough to attend the first ascidian taxonomy workshop at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Bocas del Toro, Panama, taught by Gretchen Lambert, Dr. Rosana Rocha, and Dr. Charles Lambert, where I learned that I enjoy the puzzle of identifying ascidians I have never seen before. Attending the course led to Gretchen offering me her &lt;i&gt;D. vexillum&lt;/i&gt; samples from around the world if I would do the molecular taxonomy, and to Gretchen and Charlie giving me an introduction to Dr. Hitoshi Sawada. Dr. Sawada would become my host at the Sugashima Marine Biological Laboratory (Nagoya University) for a summer of collecting &lt;i&gt;D. vexillum&lt;/i&gt; around Japan and several summers teaching in an advanced marine biology course at Sugashima MBL. Combined with my training as a field marine biologist during my undergraduate research at Cornell University (advisor: Dr. Myra Shulman) and my time working in and managing a molecular evolution lab at the University of Iowa (Dr. John M. Logsdon, Jr.) after college, I was now very well positioned to tackle both the biology and molecular ecology of &lt;i&gt;D. vexillum&lt;/i&gt;. In my PhD I was able to help determine that all these “new” didemnids were &lt;i&gt;D. vexillum&lt;/i&gt; (Stefaniak et al., &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;), to identify the northeast Pacific Ocean as the likely native range (Figure 1, Stefaniak et al., &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;), and to characterize the life history of the species (Stefaniak, &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Stefaniak &amp; Whitlatch, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joining Dr. Daniel Gleason (Georgia Southern University) in his work monitoring the benthic habitat community in the Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary (GRNMS) brought me to the southeast US Atlantic coast where I am now based, an area particularly ","PeriodicalId":12718,"journal":{"name":"genesis","volume":"61 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/dvg.23548","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10317083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Her parents, despite not having the opportunity to attend high school themselves, instilled in Beryl a love for learning and education. They engaged in various activities together, fostering her interest in science. Beryl fondly recalled daily walks with her father, where he would share his knowledge about flowers, birds, and trees and practical skills like drain-laying, building, and fishing. At the age of Standard 6 (around 11–12 years old), her father purchased a beach cottage in Kohimarama along with a dinghy, providing opportunities for the family to explore the shore and learn about different fish species (Thomson, <span>1994</span>).</p><p>Beryl attended Epsom Girls' Grammar in Auckland, followed by Auckland University College, where she earned a BSc in Botany and Zoology in 1931 (Figure 1). She then pursued a BSc (Hons) in 1933, focusing on “the vegetation of the waterfalls of the Waitakere ranges.” In 1936, she was appointed to a temporary 1-year position in the Department of Zoology at the University of Otago. Although it was a short stint, she found the experience enriching and was reluctant to leave, stating, “The end of my year in Otago came too quickly. I had learned a lot, and I could not have been in a more friendly place.” (Thomson, <span>1994</span>). After her time in Otago, Beryl dedicated time to completing her teachers' training at Auckland Teachers College (Thomson, <span>1994</span>).</p><p>After the war, Beryl had the opportunity to return to Otago as a lecturer in the Department of Zoology, thanks to the post-war increase in student numbers, stating, “I was lucky enough to be appointed and go back to working with friends.” (Brewin, <span>1994</span>). She retired in 1963 as Senior Lecturer. Beryl's employment (as for most University lecturers then) was based on teaching ability and a field of in-depth knowledge. Her dedication to research focused on ascidians, particularly their identification, reproduction, and embryo development. Her first paper, published in 1946, was a study on ascidians near the Portobello Marine Station. This work, often done at the weekend, required a high level of enthusiasm and determination. Travel to the station was by train to Port Chalmers, then ferry to the marine station to carry out collections at low tide.

I was fascinated by the evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) approach while I was analyzing vertebrate adaptations looking at their sister group, the simple tunicates. I graduated in 1988 and subsequently entered my university's graduate program in Bioscience. In 1993, I obtained my PhD Degree in Evolutionary Biology. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my mentors, Prof. Paolo Burighel and Prof. Giovanna Zaniolo, who instilled in me a passion for tunicate research, a rigorous scientific working method, and above all a commitment to intellectual honesty in interpreting literature-based results, which I consider their most important lesson. In 1998, I became a junior faculty in my University, and in 2010 I was promoted to associate professor. Currently, I teach Comparative Anatomy of Vertebrates and Eco-Evo-Devo and I am a member of the faculty of the graduate school in Biosciences. Over the course of 25 years of my academic life, I have had the opportunity to work as visiting scientist at the Universitè Paris XI (France), at the Friday Harbor Laboratories of the University of Washington (USA), and at Stanford University (USA). I have been also collaborating with members of the global tunicate research community and enjoy meeting them at the biannual International Tunicate Meetings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My research activities have primarily centered around the colonial ascidian &lt;i&gt;Botryllus schlosseri&lt;/i&gt;, which I can easily collect in the Southern Lagoon of Venice, near the city of Chioggia, where the Hydrobiological Station of my University is located (Figure 1). I love this animal for its unique stem-cell based asexual cycle and its regenerative ability (Kowarsky et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Manni et al., &lt;span&gt;2007&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; Vanni et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;).
