This webinar will be hosted live and available on-demand

Friday, August 19, 2022  1:00-4:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM-1:00 PM PT)

Stem cell-based therapies hold great promise for treating many human diseases. For such treatments to be successful, scientists need to use cells with the correct differentiation potential and give them proper instructions to differentiate into the desired cell type. Understanding the various steps of stem cell differentiation is challenging, in part due to the low abundance and cellular heterogeneity among stem cells.

In this virtual symposium brought to you by The Scientist, an expert panel will examine how single-cell resolution has affected stem cell research, especially with regard to understanding and guiding stem cell differentiation.

1:10 PM – New Single Cell Genomic Technologies to Deconstruct Cell Identity in Reprogramming and Development

1:45 PM – Pluripotent Stem Cell Models of Lung Development and Disease

2:20 PM – Stem Cell-Derived Islet Development and Maturation at Single-Cell Resolution

2:55 PM – Leveraging iPSCORE to Understand the Genetic Underpinnings of Cellular Traits

3:30 PM - Open panel Q&A session Nathan Ni from The Scientist's Creative Services Team will be joined by the entire panel in an open question and answer session where presenters will address questions posed by the audience.
