Kate McDole

Kate McDole is a Group Leader at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. Her lab explores the morphogenesis of the early mouse embryo using a combination of advanced light-sheet microscopy, biology, computational methods and biophysics. 

Kate did her PhD at Johns Hopkins at the Carnegie Institute for Science’s Department of Embryology in the lab of Yixian Zheng, using two-photon microscopy to study early cell fate establishment in the pre-implantation mouse embryo. She moved to HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus to do her post-doc in the lab of Philipp Keller, developing a light-sheet microscope for imaging post-implantation mouse development.
