Kaska Koltowska graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Genetics from King’s College London, UK, in 2007. In 2011 she completed a PhD in Developmental Biology at the National Institute for Medical Research, UK, in the laboratory of Elke Ober with focus on liver development in zebrafish. The same year, she joined Ben Hogan’s laboratory at the Institute of Molecular Bioscience, Australia. Her post-doctoral focused on uncovering new players regulating lymphatic vessel formation. In 2018 began her independent line of research at Uppsala University, Sweden. Her laboratory aims to determine how molecular and cellular regulators work together to ensure proper lymphatic vessel formation. By leveraging state-of-the-art genetic models, the latest single-cell transcriptomics, and in vivo imaging her laboratory identifies new players that regulate lymphatic vessel development.
