July 10, 2024ISSCR 2024: Day 1
In July 2024, Daylon and Arun attended the International Society for Stem Cell Research’s (ISSCR) annual meeting in Hamburg, Germany, and recorded daily episodes discussing highlights of the previous 24 hours. Here is the first of four episodes, where Daylon and Arun discuss the clinical focus of this year’s meeting and the President’s Symposium, including Dr. Magdalena Götz’s talk on organellar heterogeneity and “moonlighting” proteins. They also talk about sessions on stem cells in low earth orbit and computational biology, including Dr. Jonathan Weissman’s work on PerturbSeq and Dr. Matthias Lutolf‘s work on organoids on chips. Finally, they discuss a session on cultured meat.

July 09, 2024 Ep. 271: “Skin Regeneration” Featuring Dr. Valentina Greco
Dr. Valentina Greco is the Carolyn Walch Slayman Professor of Genetics and Co-Chair of the Committee on the Status of Women in Medicine at Yale University. Her research focuses on tissue homeostasis in the face of continuous cellular turnover, frequent injuries, and spontaneous mutations. She talks about her research on skin and hair follicle stem cells, the role of imaging techniques, and bridging science and art. She also discusses disease modeling and building an inclusive lab culture.

May 14, 2024 Ep. 267: “Embryo Morphogenesis” Featuring Dr. Shankar Srinivas
Dr. Shankar Srinivas is a Professor of Developmental Biology in the Department of Physiology Anatomy and Genetics based in the Institute for Developmental and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Oxford. He is also a Zeitlyn Fellow and Tutor in Medicine at Jesus College. Using mouse and human embryos as model systems, his group looks at the control of patterning and morphogenesis during the establishment of the anterior-posterior axis, gastrulation, and early cardiogenesis. He discusses how tissues respond to forces during early development, characterizing cardiac progenitors, and his experience training internationally.
