Brian Stramer completed his undergraduate degree in Molecular Genetics at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY, and his PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology at Tufts University in Boston, MA. He then moved to the UK to work in the laboratory of Paul Martin as a US/UK Royal Society Fellow at the University of Bristol, before becoming a lecturer and a group leader at King’s College London in 2008.

Besaiz J Sanchéz-Sanchéz,
PhD |
Besaiz is a developmental biologist from Granada, one of the most beautiful areas in Andalucia, Spain. He completed his PhD in Seville, studying macrophage migration in the Drosophila embryo in the Andalusian Center for Developmental Biology, and moved to London in 2016 to work as a postdoc in the Stramer lab. In our lab, he is studiyng macrophage behaviour during Drosophila embryogenesis to analyse how the cytoskeleton is regulated through cell migration, and how cells built the extracellular matrix during development. In his spare time, he loves going to the cinema and spending time with his husband, Jesús.

Stefania Marcotti,
PhD |
Stefania is a mechanical engineer from Novara, a city in the North of Italy famous for its mosquitos. She completed her PhD in Sheffield at the Insigneo Institute for in silico Medicine studying bone cell mechanical properties and joined the Stramer lab in 2018. In our lab, she works as data and image analyst of all things bio across different projects, automating analysis pipelines in different coding languages. She also weirdly enough likes statistics. In her spare time, Stefania is an amateur climber and keen baker.

David Salvador-García,
PhD |
David is a biologist from Valladolid, Spain. He did his PhD in Cambridge, UK, using Drosophila as a model system. He has moved now to the Big Smoke, to analyse cytoskeleton dynamics and wound healing in the Drosophila embryo, and he is oh so excited. He loves theater and to watch movies nobody else have heard of.

Angus Nichols
|
Despite a lifelong hatred of Yorkshire puddings, Angus completed his degree in Molecular Cell Biology at the University of York. For his PhD in the Stramer lab he is using Drosophila to genetically dissect the formation of Collagen IV networks in the developing basement membrane. Originally from the small rural English county of Rutland, Angus enjoys cycling and other outdoorsy activities, he is also a keen drummer.

Leonel Menezes |
Coming from the beaches of Brazil, Leonel completed his BSc in Biophysics and MSc in Morphological Sciences at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He has moved to the slightly less sunny London for his PhD in the Stramer Lab, where he aims to combine Atomic Force Microscopy and Super Resolution Imaging to study the mechanical regulation of basement membrane formation in Drosophila development. When not wandering around in museums, you can find him cooking or enjoying every bit of sunshine he can find outdoors.

Maria C Diaz-de-la-Loza, PhD
|
Maria Carmen Diaz is an Andalusian Researcher and Scientific Illustrator originally from a little fishing town in Cádiz. She has worked as a researcher in laboratories in both Spain and the UK, and after her second postdoc in the Francis Crick Institute in London, she joined the Stramer lab in 2020 as a fly technician, to continue working with fruit flies and live microscopy. She is an avid reader of Sci-Fi and fantasy, and she loves drawing and painting.
