Latest Episodes:

Ep. 173: “Blood Cells and the Bone Marrow” Featuring Dr. Dominique Bonnet Jul 28, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Dominique Bonnet is the Group Leader of the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute. Her lab is interested in the extrinsic mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic stem cells, and how they can intervene in order to eradicate the leukemic stem cell.

ISSCR 2020 with Dr. Kristy Red-Horse Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Kristy Red-Horse is an Associate Professor of Biology at Stanford University. Her lab uses cardiovascular development as a model to study the signals that instruct cell fate and guide morphogenesis during organ formation in the mammalian embryo.

Ep. 172: “Organ Regeneration” Featuring Dr. Valentina Greco Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Valentina Greco is the Carolyn Slayman Professor of Genetics at Yale University. Her lab has developed novel live imaging approaches to track and manipulate stem cells in live animals, allowing them to study the complex orchestration of tissue regeneration using the skin as a model system.

ISSCR 2020 with Dr. Madeline Lancaster Jul 07, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Madeline Lancaster is a Group Leader at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. The Lancaster lab has developed cerebral organoids as a model system to better understand human brain evolution, development, and neurodevelopmental disorders. She joined us to discuss her research presentated at the ISSCR 2020 conference.

Ep. 171: “The Heart and Human Development” Featuring Dr. Benoit Bruneau Jun 30, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Benoit Bruneau is the Director of the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease. His lab uses mouse models and human iPSCs to investigate the transcription factor networks that regulate sets of genes critical for heart development.

Ep. 170: “Human Skin Organoids” Featuring Dr. Karl Koehler Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Karl Koehler is an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology at Harvard Medical School. His lab focuses on using human organoid systems as a platform to model congenital diseases and develop regenerative medicine therapies for the inner ear and various craniofacial tissues.

Ep. 169: “The Mammalian Nervous System” Featuring Dr. Freda Miller Jun 02, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Freda Miller, from the Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute and the University of Toronto, studies the cellular mechanisms that regulate development of the mammalian nervous system, with a particular interest in stem cells and trophic factors.

Ep. 168: “Adult Stem Cell-Based Organoids” Featuring Dr. Hans Clevers May 19, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Hans Clevers from the Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research is a pioneer in the field, studying the molecular mechanisms of tissue development and cancer of various organs using organoids made from adult Lgr5 stem cells.

Ep. 167: “From Scientist to Editor-in-Chief” Featuring Dr. Sheila Chari May 05, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Sheila Chari is the Editor-in-Chief at the journal Cell Stem Cell, and Executive Editor at Cell Press. As the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Chari’s primary responsibilities are knowing and publishing the top stem cell discoveries, driving journal publishing strategy, and managing a global editorial staff.

Special Episode: “COVID-19 Research Updates” Featuring Dr. Josef Penninger Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Josef Penninger is from the University of British Columbia and the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, Austria. He was previously on the podcast to talk about his research developing human blood vessel organoids. Dr. Penninger’s team has identified a trial drug that can significantly block early stages of COVID-19 in human blood vessel and kidney organoids.
