Ep. 68 - Stem Cells & The Pancreas ft. Jonathan Brassard
Jonathan Brassard obtained his Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering at Université Laval followed by a Master's in Bioengineering in Switzerland. Two years ago, he joined Prof. Corinne Hoesli at Mcgill University in Biological and Biomedical Engineering to work on combining stem cell biology and device engineering to treat type 1 diabetes. When he's not in the lab tending to his very needy stem cells, you can find him hiking, climbing or taking pictures of cute animals he encounters during his outdoor adventures!
Tune in for answers to questions like...
How did we discover stem cells and how are they used in bioengineering research?
How do we create and manipulate miniature organs in the lab?
What is the cutting edge in the treatment and management of diabetes?
Where does the future of bioengineering look like?
and many more!
