Kikuë Tachibana-Konwalski (*1978 in Graz, Austria[1]) is a Japanese-Austrian molecular biologist and director at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) in Martinsried, Germany. Formally, she was a group leader at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) in Vienna, Austria.
Education and career
Tachibana-Konwalski was educated in Japan, Austria, and the UK.[2] She obtained her PhD working on the cell cycle and cancer formation in the group of Ron Laskey at Cambridge University, UK.[3][2] She later joined the lab of Kim Nasmyth in Oxford, UK as a post-doc, where she did pioneering work on the role of the protein cohesin in female mouse germ cells.[3] In November 2011 she joined IMBA as a group leader, where she investigates totipotency in mouse oocytes and zygotes as well as the role of maternal aging on egg cell health using mouse as a model system.[3][4]
Awards and honours
In 2017, Tachibana-Konwalski was awarded the Walter Flemming medal.[2] In 2018, she received the "Förderpreis der Stadt Wien", an award from the city of Vienna for outstanding scientific work.[5]
