StemCells@Lunch Digested

In this week's stem cells @ lunch digested episode, PhD student Ana-Maria Cujba speaks to Dr Caroline Hill from the Francis Crick Institute about her research into cell signalling and using fish as models to study signalling during embryonic development.

Dr Caroline Hill is an established Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute. She was awarded her PhD from Cambridge University, was elected to EMBO in 2002 and to the Academia Europaea in 2013. In 2015, she was elected a Fellow of the European Academy of Cancer Sciences.

In today's episode we are joined by Dr Rob Hynds. He talks about his background of studying human lung cancers, the challenges of developing therapies, working in a multidisciplinary setting and training for the Belfast Marathon!

Rob completed his PhD in epithelial stem cell biology in the Lungs For Living Research Centre in 2016 and is now a Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow working on Prof. Charles Swanton's lung TRACERx clinical study in collaboration with Dr. Sergio Quezada's group. Rob's work aims to develop patient-derived cancer models and develop immune-based therapies for lung cancer.

In this episode of Stem Cells at Lunch Digested we hear from Dr Shukry Habib about his research focuses at the Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine and how he came to work here.

Shukry Habib pursued his undergraduate and Master degrees in Israel at the Technion and Tel-Aviv university, respectively. He obtained his Dr.rer. nat from Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU) of Munich, Germany and carried out postdoctoral research at Stanford University, California, USA. He is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine and was recently awarded a Sir Henry Dale fellowship (Wellcome Trust and Royal Society, UK).

In this episode of StemCells@Lunch digested Dr Andrea Serio talks about how he and his team use bioengineering to understand neurodegeneration.

Dr Serio was appointed a lectureship at King's College London in September 2017, and joined the division of Tissue Engineering and Biophotonics, where he has now established an independent group focused on neural circuit engineering (NCE).
