Collaborations and future trainees
The lab is not recruiting for Fall 2026. Interested students are still welcome to reach out through the contact form to be considered for future positions, especially if their interests align with embryo development, reproductive biology, computational genomics, bioinformatics, or single-cell multi-omics.
Collaborators, clinicians, and research partners can contact Stewart directly or use the form below to start a conversation about shared projects.

What We Look For
Future trainees do not need to arrive as reproductive biologists. The strongest fit is someone who is curious about embryo development, careful with data and documentation, and comfortable learning across wet-lab and computational boundaries.
A genuine interest in how early human development is regulated and why developmental failure occurs.
Experience or eagerness to learn R, Python, command-line workflows, and reproducible bioinformatics.
Clear communication, good records, and openness to feedback are essential in a small, interdisciplinary lab.
