dr. J.T.M.L. (Judith) Paridaen

Judith Paridaen obtained her PhD degree at the Hubrecht Institute for Stem Cell Research and Developmental Biology and Utrecht University in 2009. She worked in the lab of Dana Zivkovic on genetics of zebrafish brain development. In 2009, she joined the lab of Prof. Wieland Huttner at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany. Here, she studied the cell biology of neural stem cells in the mouse embryo on a long-term EMBO post-doctoral fellowship. In 2016, she joined the ERIBA as a Rosalind Franklin Fellow. Here, her lab studied the cell biological mechanisms that regulate stem cell division in developing and adult tissues. In 2025, she joined CogniGron as Scientific Coordinator.
