A unique flagship institute at the University of Oxford combining insights into organ development and regeneration to treat birth defects and acquired disease

Meet Claudio Cortes Rodriguez, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Riley group. After earning his BSc from the University of Chile, Claudio completed a PhD in Molecular Genetics in Australia, where he investigated rare genetic diseases. Relocating to France, he specialised in developing innovative live imaging techniques to study heart development. Now in the Riley lab, his research focuses on uncovering the cause of defects in the heart wall.
