A challenge in cell-based therapy is predicting cell type-specific differentiation capacity in newly generated iPSCs. #NEIfunded study addresses this: identifies 14 predictive genes. @ChoroidLab @StemCellsEh @uiowaeye @StemCellsTM: academic.oup.com/stcltm/arti…

As we enter the last week of #PrideMonth, we're thinking about the importance of community in research. šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ šŸ”¬ 🄼 🧪 šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø How does your LGBTQIA community overlap with your research community? What has support looked like in those shared spaces?

The other paper from the @MeyerLab is more recent and demonstrates the potential of assembled organoid cultures (assembloids) to enhance modeling human visual system development. tinyurl.com/crenbnhz. #SCRTurns10. @martinperaJAX @ISSCR @CellPressNews

A very exciting PhD opportunity led by an excellent new investigator.
I'm thrilled to have received an #AMSSpringboard award from @acmedscit to study age-related #macular degeneration (#AMD) at the cellular level. See comments for a PhD to do this exciting study. #PhDposition
