Our review article on the many recently uncovered paths for generating human trophoblast stem cells is now online at Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences. Congratulations to Rowan Karvas and our collaborator in France, Laurent David!
Thor visited the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at CU Boulder on Thursday, November 17. He gave a seminar on human pluripotent stem cell states and the genetic regulation of human trophoblast stem cells. He also met with faculty in the Department of Biochemistry and the BioFrontiers Institute. Thanks again Justin Brumbaugh for your kind invitation to visit this beautiful campus!
Thor is one of 10 early career scientists selected to serve on the first Stem Cell Reports Early Career Editorial Board (ECEB). Stem Cell Reports is the peer-reviewed, open access, online journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR).
Throughout the next two years, the members of the ECEB will work alongside the journal’s associate editors to receive mentorship, attend the annual editorial board meeting, advise on journal content and programming, and broaden outreach as ambassadors to the Stem Cell Reports. The society selected the ECEB members through a competitive application process based on merit and diversity.
More information about the ECEB and its members can be found on the ISSCR website.
Thor visited Baylor and presented our latest studies on human pluripotency and trophoblast development. A great opportunity to find out about the exciting science happening at BCM Houston and catch up with friends and collaborators!
Celebrating Diwali with Jason Mills, Indira Mysorekar, Margot Williams, Kyle Eagan, Bruno Di Stefano, and Will Hudson:

Catching up with Margot Williams (former postdoc in the LSK Lab at WashU, now an Assistant Professor at Baylor):
The Theunissen Lab attended the 4th Annual Joint Retreat of the Developmental, Regenerative, and Stem Cell Biology (DRSCB) Program, the Department of Developmental Biology, and the Center of Regenerative Medicine at Pere Marquette Lodge (September 6-7, 2022). Our postdocs Shafqat Khan and Rowan Karvas gave poster presentations. Exciting to share our latest work with our colleagues!
