Ep. 11: Stem Cell Core Facilities Featuring Dr. Mark Tomishima

Published: Jan. 27, 2014, 5:10 a.m.

THE Stem Cell Podcast still going strong with episode 11. We start off the show inviting everyone to this year's NextGen Stem Cell Conference where stem cell scientists will come together for a causal, fun meeting of the minds.

We then go through the science roundup discussing everything from a new herpes drug, to heart cell propelled sperm looking bio-bots, to stem cell-derived 3D kidneys.We then talk to Dr. Mark Tomishima, director of the SKI Stem Cell Research Facility located in New York City. Mark tells us about what his and other core facilities do for stem cell researchers locally and abroad, as well as various projects his group is working on. Dr. Tomishima is a true stem cell guru with tons of knowledge, and of course, some really funny stories about Yosif. Enjoy!



We are working on a way to categorize all of the research papers we mention on the show and provide, possibly even provide audio summaries.\xa0 Enter in your name and e-mail address below, and we will notify you of when this feature is available.
