Wrapping up a busy summer in the Sharma lab and celebrating Ava, our California Institute for Regenerative Medicine SPARK intern! So proud of this team and all they have accomplished at Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai! 🫀🧫🚀

Great to have Dr. Joseph Wu Joseph C Wu, MD, PhD from Stanford Medicine at Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai seminar --> #PrecisionMed #StemCells #GeneLab 🧬 #ClinicalTrialsInADish Cedars-Sinai Academic Medicine Cedars-Sinai

Congrats to Arun Sharma and Clive Svendsen on another successful launch to the International Space Station! 🚀 The mission is part of a Cedars-Sinai Academic Medicine study on the impact of microgravity on stem cell production, including cell lines from the Allen Institute for Cell Science.

Great to catch up with my PhD mentor Joseph C Wu, MD, PhD from Stanford CVI. Thanks for visiting Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai for our Regenerative Medicine Seminar Series!

Thanks to Vivien Marx🐘📬⛅️ for this piece in Nature Methods highlighting new PIs attending the ISSCR 2024 Annual Meeting! Fun to chat about my journey and the importance of mentorship. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congrats Lizhuo Ai from jennifer van eyk Lab here at Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai on an awesome thesis defense on all things cardiac single cell proteomics!! 🎉

Our lab enjoying organoids and sunshine down in San Diego for Cell Symposia #CSOrganoids24! ☀️ 🌴 These are my favorite scientific meetings, smaller conferences where you really get to know everyone and listen to top notch talks at the same time!

And in the roundup: 1) Celiac disease organoids 🧫 Stanford Medicine Stanford Hematology Division 2) Intestinal immuno-organoids ♻️ Institute of Human Biology nature 3) Naive PSC substrates 🧱 @[email protected] Nature Materials 4) Neuron excitability 🧠 ZucheroLab Husniye Kantarci

Lab field trip to NASA JPL! Space biologists getting inspired by the home of NASA Voyager NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover and much, much more. 🛰️

This month our Regenerative Medicine Seminar Series featured Joseph C Wu, MD, PhD from Stanford CVI who presented his lab’s studies of cardiovascular disease mechanisms and “clinical trials in a dish”.

Check it out: we got the cover of Nature for our latest paper and packages of papers with Chris Mason and many other scientists! nature.com/nature/volumes…

There are few words expressing my joy, awe & admiration for this group. They have solved a 20+ year-long, seemingly impossible challenge: generating transplantable hematopoietic stem cells from human pluripotent cells. Just... WOW. nature.com/articles/s4158… 🤩 AndrewElefanty

And in the roundup: 1) Improving chimerism 🐁 Jun Wu Lab Emily Ballard 2) Brain aging atlas 🗺️ Columbia Medicine 3) Glia in multiple sclerosis 🧠 VFossati (she, her) New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute 4) New brain organoids 🧠 Cell Stem Cell

The 2024 CIRM SPARK Conference was hosted by UCR Stem Cell Center & Core at the Riverside Convention Center. 120 students from across the state presented their internship research and shared their experiences – congrats to them all! California Institute for Regenerative Medicine

With new support from California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the team at Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai is taking our organ-on-chip and organoid work to the next level! We’re excited to have a shared resource laboratory to make these technologies (and associated training) more widely available: cedars-sinai.org/newsroom/new-r…
