Abstract
Bénédicte Sanson is a Reader in Developmental Morphogenesis and Wellcome Trust Investigator at the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. Her lab works on axis extension and compartmental boundary formation in the Drosophila embryo, combining genetics with quantitative and computational approaches. In 2019 she was awarded the British Society for Developmental Biology's Cheryll Tickle medal, which recognises outstanding achievements in developmental biology of mid-career female researchers. We caught up with Bénédicte in a café close to her lab and discussed how she started research not with flies but with phages and how collaboration and interdisciplinarity have always been at the core of her science.
