We return this week to another interview recorded before lockdown.

Professor Susan Kimber, Professor of Stem & Developmental Biology at University of Manchester, speaks to PhD student Peter Harley. She discusses her work that uses human stem cell models to understand human development and to model vascular, skeletal and kidney diseases in a dish. She talks about how human stem cell models are important for both basic and translational science. When asked what makes a successful scientific career, she discusses the important of stamina and resilience.

On this episode of the SC@L Digested Podcast, we return to an interview recorded before lockdown.

PhD student, Inchul Cho, speaks to Dr Nathan Hawkshaw, a research associate in the Division of Musculoskeletal & Dermatological Sciences at the University of Manchester. They discuss how immunosuppressants could promote human hair growth and treat hair loss and consider how the immune system is involved in hair cycling. They also discuss Dr Hawkshaw's current research into the effects of ultra-violet radiation on the skin.

Today on SC@L digested PhD Student Dr Beibei Du speaks with Dr Simón Méndez-Ferrer, a Reader in Transfusion Medicine at the University of Cambridge. They discuss what controls blood stem cell behaviour, including whether you are awake or asleep. Simón also talks about how understanding what makes blood stem cells move can be used in stem cell transplants to treat blood cancers.

For this episode of SC@L we’ve given remote recording a go to keep producing the podcast on lockdown!

PhD student Ana Maria Cujba interviews Dr David Willnow from the Spagnoli Group at the CSCRM. They discuss his research into how the pancreas develops in the embryo and how this will develop potential future therapies for diabetes with this knowledge, David’s involvement multidiciplinary Pan3dp initiative , and the challenges of the immune response to regenerative cell therapies.
