Dr. Garyfallia Drossopoulou explains in simple terms what neural stem cell development from the human olfactory mucosa(in the nose) means for patients with spine injuries and other related health problems. She dwells into the purpose of cultivating such cells in order to get concentrated populations but also capable of multiplying & self-renewing. She explains the ‘olfactory’ term and the solution it entails to finding the right tissue without ethical boundaries. Ending, she gives us her own insights on whether young students should follow her footsteps in medical research and what they should expect from the science. Interviewed by Vicki Kolovou for Tech Talks Central.
