Such an honor to have Princess giving a keynote in ISCRM symposium!

“I believe this collaboration between a stem cell institute, a dental school, and experts in genetic sequencing and protein design could only happen in a few places, and one of them is in Seattle.”

We are pleased to welcome Utpal Banerjee, PhD for a seminar on Thursday, January 18th!

Congratulations to one of our new medicine laureates: Katalin Karikó (Katalin Kariko)! 🎉

An interview with her will be coming soon.

When we think of stem cells, we don't often think of teeth 🦷, but new research out of ISCRM at UW is having us think again. 'The ability to generate tooth #organoids may usher in a 'Century of Living Fillings''.

Poster session at ISCRM's 16th Stem Cell Symposium!

One of my very favorite colleagues Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center & all-time amazing mentors I’ve met in my life Beverly Torok-Storb passed away last Friday. I got the news right before I had to give an invited seminar, which was a blessing as it only hit me over the weekend. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_T…

The implications of this study are vast, including potential treatments for diabetes, brain injuries & strokes. The technology may also enable more precise delivery of factors for stem cell differentiation, impacting cell development & aging.

Researchers from ISCRM at UW demonstrated that the designed protein scaffolds outperformed previous versions, making them more effective in promoting blood vessel stability. #RegenerativeMedicine
