Dr. Rosa Uribe is an Associate Professor of BioSciences, a CPRIT Scholar in Cancer Research, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Differentiation. Dr. Uribe leads the Laboratory of Neural Crest and Enteric Nervous System Development, combining live zebrafish imaging, single-cell omics, CRISPR gene editing, computational biology, and spatial gene expression analysis to study neurodevelopment. Her fundamental research has implications for enteric neuropathies, including Hirschsprung disease; neural crest–derived cancers, particularly neuroblastoma; and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders affecting gut-brain communication. Dr. Uribe was recruited to join Rice University through a CPRIT award in 2017. She is a recipient of the John S. Dunn Collaborative Research Award and the NSF CAREER Award and is deeply involved in mentoring students and shaping the next generation of scientists.
