Sebastian Böhm, an Austrian student in Jessica Whited's lab at Harvard, is dedicated to studying the extraordinary regenerative abilities of the Axolotl, an organism capable of perfectly regenerating entire limbs without scars or functional impairments. His research focuses on understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this remarkable process.

By investigating the key signals and pathways that drive regeneration and development, Sebastian aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of tissue repair and developmental biology. Working in Boston, a vibrant science hotspot, has been an inspiring and enjoyable experience, further fueling his curiousity.
