Why Is Anita Kurmann Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Anita Agatha Kurmann was a Swiss endocrinologist and thyroid surgeon. Life Anita studied medicine in Basel and worked at the Inselspital in Bern, then moved to Boston to train in research at the Beth Israel Deaconess hospital, where she was a post-doctoral fellow. She worked with a multi-institution group based at Boston University that was the first to generate thyroid cell progenitors and thyroid follicular organoids from pluripotent stem cells in mice, and thyroid cell progenitors from induced PSCs in humans. This was achieved by establishing the signalling required to create a thyroid lineage, namely BMP4 and FGF2. It was shown that thyroid hormones were secreted by the mice organoids after transplantation into mice.
