We return this week with an episode recorded during lockdown.

Prof. James Sharpe, the head of EMBL Barcelona, is interviewed by PhD student Sergi Junyent. Prof. Sharpe is one of the key opinion leaders in developmental biology and bioengineering. Here, he talks about the pioneering work done by his group in understanding tissue development and discusses his how his work brings together his passion for computer programming and biology.

“Even just to understand the genesis of human being itself... It must be one of the holy grails of modern biology.”

We return this week with an episode recorded during lockdown.

Professor Jianping Fu, a professor of Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical engineering and Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan, is interviewed by PhD student Sergi Junyent. He talks about the technical difficulties and ethical issues of studying human development. He discusses the growing field of stem cell based embryo models to study the early stages of development and the future directions of these models.

Professor Ludovic Vallier, Professor of Regenerative Medicine within the Department of Surgery at Cambridge University and director of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre hIPSCs (human induced pluripotent stem cells) core facility, is interviewed by PhD student Alice Vickers. He talks about his work using human pluripotent cells to generate pancreas, lung, gut and liver cells. He speaks about how his involvement in industry aims to generate cell types for clinical studies and for cell based therapy.

Professor Peter Jones, Professor of Endocrine Biology and head of the Department of Physiology at King's College London, is interviewed by PhD student Prudence Lui. Peter breaks down the basics of type 1 and type 2 diabetes and discusses his lab's recent research into the phenomenon of mitochondrial transfer. After 36 years at King's, Peter talks about what has kept him in scientific research.

Dr Norah Fogarty, a new group leader at the Centre for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine at King's College London, is interviewed by PhD student Geraldine Jowett. Norah discusses her work on the development of the trophectoderm in the human embryo, which is the progenitor of early placental cells. She talks about how this work aims to further our understanding of human embryo development and early pregnancy loss, and may in the future lead to advances in assisted reproductive treatments.
