LABC Winter Programs

Students used RNA interference (RNAi) to “turn off” genes like Oct-4 and study cancer stem cells—the drivers of tumor growth.

We also hosted:
• @CIRM Bridges (@PCCLancer Pasadena City College)
• CIRM COMPASS (CSU San Bernadino) #Cancerresearch

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Yesai Fstkchyan as Director of Research & Education at the LA Biotech Center! 🔬

A cell biologist and CRISPR researcher, he’ll lead new education programs and launch a hands-on research training course for high school students this June.

The LA Biotech Center is proud to partner with @ucsantabarbara to deliver advanced stem cell training through the @CIRMnews - funded Program.
This 4-day intensive equips students & professionals with cutting-edge skills in adult pluripotent stem cell techniques. #STEM #UCSB

[LA Biotech Center @LABiotechCenter]

We welcomed 20 students from CSULB & CSUN for a 7-day Advanced Stem Cell Techniques training 🧫🔬

Funded by @CIRMnews, they’re now starting year-long internships at UCLA, USC & UCI!

A closer look at cancer stem cells under the microscope 🧬💥
These tiny but powerful cells (seen in vibrant blue, green, & red) drive tumor growth and relapse.
Studying them helps us target cancer at its root.
