Abstract:
Ken Poss is currently James B. Duke Professor of Cell Biology and Director of the Regeneration Next Initiative at Duke University. His lab aims to understand the mechanisms underlying vertebrate tissue regeneration, focusing on the heart, spinal cord and major appendages in zebrafish, which possess especially high regenerative capacity. Earlier this year, Ken joined the Development team as an Associate Editor, focusing on the field of regenerative biology. We caught up with Ken to find out more about his career, his research and why he decided to get involved with the journal.
