Thor will present our latest advances on building human embryo and placenta models from naive pluripotent stem cells at the Keystone Symposium on Stem Cell Models for Embryology organized by Aryeh Warmflash and Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz in Pacific Grove, California, from February 7th-8th, 2024. More information about the meeting can be found here.
Thor presented our latest studies at the Mini-Symposium on Pluripotent Stem Cells at the University of Georgia. Big thanks to the graduate students in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology for the kind invite and great to learn about the exciting work of Marcos Simoes-Costa (Harvard), Kamil Godula (UCSD), and Mark Tomishima (Blue Rock)!
The Theunissen Lab attended the 2023 Annual Meeting of the International Society of Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) in Boston. Rowan presented our exciting recent studies on 3D-cultured human blastoids in the Concurrent Session on “Engineering Models of Human Embryology” and was the recipient of both an ISSCR Travel Award and a Merit Abstract Reward. Congratulations Rowan!
Thor visited UT Southwestern in Dallas this week and presented our latest work on human placental development in the Department of Molecular Biology Seminar Series. Thanks Jun Wu for the kind invitation!
