  • Comment: Moens is notable, but this article does not show it. [WP:PROF]] is the standard, and it relies on the demonstrated influence of her work. This is best shown by giving her 5 most cited peer-reviewed papers, and specifying the number of citations. DGG ( talk ) 06:59, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Cecilia Moens is an American developmental biologist, who runs a research lab at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington. Her lab researches the early development of the vertebrate brain using zebrafish as a model organism.

Education and research

Moens became interested in science as a child, working in her father's lab from a young age.[1] She received her Bachelor of Science at York University in 1987, and then her PhD in Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto in 1993. After her PhD, she was a postdoctoral fellow in Charles Kimmel's lab at the University of Oregon,[2] where she conducted a screen looking for genes that controlled the development of hindbrain neurons.[3] In 1998, she joined the faculty at Fred Hutch in Seattle, Washington,[4] where she runs a lab that studies fundamental mechanisms underlying the development of the vertebrate brain using the zebrafish as a model organism.[5]
