Aleksandra Pękowska leads the Dioscuri Center for Chromatin Biology and Epigenomics at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, Poland, where she studies the role of astrocytes in brain development. Her research connects astrocyte chromatin architecture to broader questions about how these glial cells have influenced human brain evolution. We met Aleksandra over Zoom to discuss her career path so far. She told us about how she came to work on nervous system development, the interdisciplinary nature of her research group, and how she almost ended up studying law at university.
亚历山德拉·佩科夫斯卡（Aleksandra Pękowska）领导着位于波兰华沙的波兰科学院恩琴基实验生物学研究所的狄俄斯库里染色质生物学与表观基因组学中心，她在那里研究星形胶质细胞在大脑发育中的作用。她的研究将星形胶质细胞的染色质结构与关于这些神经胶质细胞如何影响人类大脑进化的更广泛问题联系起来。我们通过Zoom与亚历山德拉会面，讨论了她到目前为止的职业道路。她向我们讲述了她是如何开始从事神经系统发育研究的，她的研究团队的跨学科性质，以及她在大学时差点去学法律的经历。
