Guests Introduction

      Francesca Cesari is the Chief Biological Sciences Editor at Nature, overseeing editorial content and management of the biological science section of Nature. She has a Master with honors in Molecular Biology from University of Rome “La Sapienza”, Italy, and obtained her Ph.D. from the Institute of Cell Biology in Tübingen, Germany, where she studied the function of the Ets transcription factor Elk-1 by site-directed mutagenesis in the mouse genome in Alfred Nordheim’s laboratory. During her first postdoc, she continued to work on the role of other Ets transcription factors in stem cells and during mouse development. She then joined Azim Surani's laboratory at The Wellcome Trust /Cancer Research Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, UK, for a second postdoc and worked on epigenetic reprogramming in the mouse germline. Prior to joining Nature, she was a Senior Editor of Nature Reviews Molecular Biology for some years and briefly worked at Nature Cell Biology as a Senior Editor where she handled manuscripts in the areas of stem cell, chromatin and membrane trafficking. She was the Stem Cell and Development Editor at Nature for some years before her appointment to Chief Biological Sciences Editor in 2014.

       Nathalie Le Bot is the Stem Cell and Development Editor at Nature. She joined the Nature editorial team in August 2014, after eight years as an editor at Nature Cell Biology, where she also had responsibility for papers in the field of developmental biology.She studied molecular and cell biology at the Ecole Normale Supérieure d'Ulm, Paris. After studying the regulation of the cell cycle in the laboratory of Sir Paul Nurse in London, she joined the EMBL graduate program in Heidelberg in 1995. At EMBL, under the supervision of Eric Karsenti and Isabelle Vernos, she studied the role of microtubules associated motor proteins in trafficking and cell division. After her Ph.D., she carried out post-doctoral work at the Gurdon Institute in Cambridge in the laboratory of Julie Ahringer, funded by an EMBO postdoctoral fellowship and a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin fellowship. There she analyzed early events of the development of C. elegans embryos and participated in one of the first genome-wide RNAi screens. After twelve years at the bench, she joined Nature Publishing Group in 2006.
