How to Generate in the Field of Tissue Regeneration | Christopher Antos | TEDxSMICSchool

Often times for the fear of failure and oneself’s weaknesses, people are forced to compensate them through being someone or doing something they do not want to do. As a scientist, Christopher Antos encounters failures every day. However instead of avoiding them, he uses them as a source of motivation and encourages the audience to do the same—to face their challenges and not be afraid of failures. Christopher has had the fortune to pursue his research interests and experience different cultural environments due to his passions in science and sociology. He has always enjoyed understanding how things work, with a particular focus on how organisms regenerate tissues and organs. Due to practical restraints such as time, energy, and funding, he is focusing his research on heart and limb/fin regeneration. His laboratory seeks to investigate these through observing the cellular and molecular mechanisms in the heart and appendage regeneration of zebrafish.
