Anna-Katerina (Kat) Hadjantonakis is a member and chair of the Developmental Biology Program at the Sloan Kettering Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, where she holds the Alfred P. Sloan endowed chair. She is also a Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine, Cornell University. Her overarching research interests center on the endoderm; how this progenitor tissue of the embryo emerges and subsequently differentiates to give rise to the respiratory and digestive tracts and associated organs. Kat received a BSc in Biochemistry, and PhD in Molecular Genetics, from Imperial College, London. She pursued postdoctoral training, first with Andras Nagy and Janet Rossant at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Toronto, then with Virginia Papaioannou at Columbia University, New York. She established an independent research group at the Sloan Kettering Institute in 2004. She has authored over 230 publications and currently serves as an editor at the journals Development and Science Advances, and is a member of several journal editorial boards, including Developmental Cell and Stem Cell Reports.
