Dr Olga Zaytseva is an early career postdoctoral researcher in the laboratory of Prof. Leonie Quinn at JCSMR, ANU. She completed her PhD in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Quinn and Prof. Ross Hannan. Her current work uses brain cancer models to determine how mutations in a given brain cancer subtype alter brain growth in the fly with the ultimate aim of translating observations into human organoid models.
