Episode 53
Saturday, 2 May, 2026
The two program chairs of the annual meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research talk about the meeting and some trends they see. They are Dr Fiona Doetsch from the University of Basel and Dr Nozomu Yachie from the University of British Columbia who has a lab at the University of Osaka too. They talk about the promise of stem cell biology and stem cell therapy. About how malleable the human brain is, the role of AI and 'in vivo veritas. There's also a word association game. My co-moderator is: Dr. Angela Parrish from Nature Communications who has also worked at Nature Cell Biology.
