Abstract

Purushothama Rao Tata is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Duke University Medical Center. His lab is focussed on understanding the cellular basis of cell plasticity and self-organization in regeneration and tumorigenesis, using the lung as a model system. In 2022, Tata was awarded a Rising Star award from the International Society for Regenerative Biology. We caught up with Tata over Zoom to learn how an early plant tissue culture experiment led to a career working on human lung regeneration, the role serendipity has played in his research and the importance of switching off.
