Ep. 180: “Next Generation Scientists” Featuring Naveed Tavakol, Nathasia Mudiwa Muwanigwa, and Sarthak Sinha Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

In this special episode of the Stem Cell Podcast, we speak with three PhD students — Nathasia Mudiwa Muwanigwa, Sarthak Sinha, and Naveed Tavakol — about their research into brain organoids, organ-on-chip systems, and regeneration in different mammals.

Ep. 179: “The Human Segmentation Clock” Featuring Dr. Miki Ebisuya Oct 20, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Miki Ebisuya is a Group Leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Barcelona. Her lab reconstitutes developmental mechanisms by making artificial gene circuits, and studies interspecies differences by comparing organoids of different animals.

Ep. 178: “Muscle Stem Cell Quiescence” Featuring Dr. Tom Cheung Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Tom Cheung is the S H Ho Associate Professor of Life Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His lab investigates the molecular pathways that control muscle stem cell quiescence and stem cell-mediated tissue regeneration.

Ep. 177: “Molecular Mechanisms of Differentiation” Featuring Dr. Ludovic Vallier Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Ludovic Vallier is a Professor of Regenerative Medicine at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and Director of the NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Centre hiPSC core facility. His lab studies the basic mechanisms controlling differentiation of pluripotent cells into endoderm progenitors from which the pancreas, lung, gut and liver originate.

Ep. 176: “Stem Cells and the Skin” Featuring Dr. Valerie Horsley Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Valerie Horsley is an Associate Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, and Associate Professor of Dermatology at Yale University. Her lab studies how adult stem cells within epithelial tissues maintain tissue homeostasis, wound healing and can contribute to cancer formation.

Ep. 175: “Human Colon Organoids” Featuring Dr. Henner Farin Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Henner Farin is a Young Investigator in the German Cancer Consortium, and a Junior Research Group Leader at the Georg-Speyer-Haus Institute for Tumor Biology and Experimental Therapy. His group uses organoids to study cell signaling in intestinal stem cells and colorectal cancer.

Ep. 174: “Functional Human Brain Models of Disease” Featuring Dr. Sergiu Pașca Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Sergiu Pașca is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, and the Bonnie Uytengsu and Family Director of the Stanford Brain Organogenesis Program. His team has developed methods for generating human brain organoids, and uses them to study the programs underlying brain development, assembly and dysfunction.

ISSCR 2020 with Dr. Martin Pera Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Martin Pera is a Principal Investigator at the Jackson Laboratories and Editor-in-Chief of the ISSCR's journal Stem Cell Reports. His lab studies the regulation of self-renewal and pluripotency, heterogeneity in pluripotent stem cell populations, and neural specification of pluripotent stem cells.
