THE Franklin West of Franklin West UGA spoke to us about his research regarding Neuroprotective and regenerating stem cell therapies in a pig model of stroke and TBI! #SCARE2022

We are thrilled to be teaching planarian biology and learning about some of the latest advances in stem cells and regeneration SCARE again this year! #SCARE2022

In one of today’s labs, Jan Pruzak from @paracelsus_uni showed students how to isolate and characterize neural stem cells using FACS! #SCARE2022

In one of today’s labs, Chas Easley of Easley Lab UGA held a lab where students learned procedures for deriving and culturing hiPSCs. They also used CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools to edit a house keeping gene in iPSCs. #SCARE2022

Bellies are full and we are ready to hear about Stem Cell and Regeneration Research Funding from Ravi Ravindranath from the NIH ! #SCARE2022

Gooood morning SCAREy people! Ina Dobrinski from U Calgary has testes on the brain today (and most days), she will be talking to us about Animal Models for Germ Cell Research. #SCARE2022

Kyle Orwig from University of Pittsburgh is here today to talk to us about Translating Spermatogonial Stem Cell Transplantation to the Clinic! #SCARE2022

Diane Carlisle from University of Pittsburgh set up a lab for students to check the pluripotency of hESCs using a live cell stain and also determine the quality of their differentiations using immunofluorescent staining. #SCARE2022

Kyle Orwig and Meena Sukhwani from University of Pittsburgh set up a lab we here students were able to perform hands on SSC transplantation and colony counting in mouse-to-mouse SSC transplants!

Throughout the week, students have had the amazing opportunity to attend a Founder’s Luncheon with Jerry Schatten from University of Pittsburgh for small group conversations about personal and professional development, hardships of research, mentorship and more! #SCARE2022

Chas Easley of Easley Lab UGA is talking to us tonight about Derivation of Functional Spermatids from Pluripotent Stem Cells! #SCARE2022

One more amazing talk before t-shirt night! We have Vardit Ravitsky from Université de Montréal talking to us about the Ethical and Social Aspects of Gene Editing!

We are starting off this Friday right with a talk from Ava Udvadia from UW-Milwaukee on CNS Regeneration in Non-Mammalian Vertebrates! #SCARE2022

Next up we have Goro Yashizaki from Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology talking to us about Germ-line Stem Cell Manipulation in Fish: Can Mackerel Produce Bluefin Tuna Gametes? #SCARE2022

#SCARE2022 was a blast! Thank you to our sponsors, without whom this opportunity could not take place. NIH ZEISS Microscopy Charles River Labs Thermo Fisher Leica Microsystems @Eppendorf_USA STEMCELL Technologies Promega Corporation TOKAI HIT NikonUSA

Thanks to Warren for kicking off our mentoring session!

Trainees 2023! We can't wait to see your what you do next!

So great to teach SCARE today. Thanks for sponsoring my stem cell lab Gibco Cell Culture and STEMCELL Technologies!
