Susan Mango is Benning Professor of Oncological Sciences at the University of Utah and an Investigator at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. She grew up in England and Washington D.C. before attending Harvard University. She received her Ph.D. from Princeton, where she studied the c-myc oncogene with Michael Cole. She was introduced to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a postdoc with Judith Kimble at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and moved to Utah in 1996 to start her own lab. After 13 years at the University of Utah, she will move to Harvard University in July 2009. Her principal focus is transcriptional strategies of organ development, using the C. elegans foregut as a model.

Dominique Bergmann completed her PhD at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA, studying left-right asymmetry in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Her interest in cell geometry and organisation led her into the field of plant development, and she carried out postdoctoral research at the Carnegie Institution before establishing her own lab at Stanford University, USA. Dominique is now a Professor of Biology at Stanford and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. She has been an Editor at Development since 2023. We caught up with Dominique over Zoom to find out more about her research in the field of stomatal development, her role as an Editor, and how her passion for comparative biology has influenced her career.
