Joey Zemke and Rowan Karvas presented their latest work at the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) in Dublin, Ireland, from July 16-19, 2024. Joey gave a poster presentation on the signaling pathways driving human placental development, while Rowan presented insights from her 3D-cultured blastoid model in the trophoblast focus session. Well done Joey and Rowan!
Laura Fischer presented her studies on tracking and mitigating imprint erasure during induction of naive human pluripotency in the Concurrent Session on Imaging Stem Cell Systems Across Scales at the ISSCR Annual Meeting in Hamburg, Germany, on Thursday, July 11, 2024. Way to go Laura!
Thor will present our latest work on building 2D and 3D models of human placental development using naive pluripotent stem cells at the Centre for Trophoblast Research’s Annual Meeting at Churchill College, Cambridge, on July 1-2, 2024.

Laura Fischer successfully defended her PhD in the Program in Developmental, Regenerative, and Stem Cell Biology. Her thesis is entitled “Tracking and mitigating imprint erasure during human pluripotent state transitions.” Congratulations Laura!
Thor was awarded an Outstanding Investigator Award (R35) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) to resolve epigenetic instability during human pluripotent state transitions. The R35 award provides long term support to an experienced investigator with an outstanding record of research productivity. This support is intended to encourage investigators to embark on long-term projects of unusual potential.
Thank you, NIGMS, for your continued support of our research program!
