StemCellTalks London

A chapter of @stemcelltalks (SCT) | SCT was co-founded by and is held in partnership with @StemCellNetwork and @LetsTalksScience

And that’s a wrap on StemCellTalks London #SCTLdn 2022!

Shout-out to all our volunteers and especially our senior co-chairs Alex Kozlov (@alex_m_kozlov) and Dr. Zach Easton and junior co-chair Stefan Grahovac! 💜💜💜

Congrats StemCellTalks London on a great event! 👏👏👏

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

And of course, a huge thanks to our amazing speakers: @nika_shakiba, @JacobShelley @AmyZarzeczny, Dr. Bob Chow, and Dr. May Griffith for their AMAZING talks! We learned all about stem cells, vision loss and ethical considerations for therapy #SCTLdn

Such a fun day! One of my favourite events every year!

StemCellTalks London #SCTLdn wouldn’t be possible without our fearless leaders Alex Kozlov (@alex_m_kozlov), Dr. Zach Easton and Stefan Grahovac! 💜

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

What are the dangers of mis/disinformation in stem cell therapy? @AmyZarzeczny tells us about stem cell tourism and how misinformation is a concern in the stem cell field

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

Thank you to @JacobShelley and @AmyZarzeczny for being part of the Stem Cell Law and Ethics Panel! We learned about how new technologies are funded, how mis/disinformation impact science and research, and the legal & ethical consequences of unproven stem cell therapies. #SCTLdn

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

What is medically necessary when seeking treatment for disease? How will new stem cell therapies be accessed by the public? @JacobShelley describes important considerations and debate around these topics at #SCTLdn

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

We finished our first activity, Clinician-Scientist for a Day! Students got to go through example scenarios following three different patients and how the clinical process might work in the real world. #SCTLdn

Regrowing the human cornea might seem like science fiction, but it’s not! It’s happening now with Dr. May Griffith and her team at Université de Montréal 👀

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

Eye disease and damage is complex and multi-faceted, but seeing Dr. May Griffith describe restoring someone’s vision from legal blindness to within normal range is 🤯🤯

Regrowing the human cornea might seem like science fiction, but it’s not! It’s happening now with Dr. May Griffith and her team at Université de Montréal 👀

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

A very informative talk about how vision works, the different types of eye impairments, and potential treatments including gene therapies, visual aids, and pharmaceuticals!

Everyone, take care of your eyes!

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

Time for our second talk of the day with Dr. Bob Chow! #SCTLdn

[Danielle Spice, PhD @spicedanielle]

What a beautiful way to describe stem cell biology, we are trying to learn the language of our cells! @nika_shakiba showing us all how to #scicomm

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

Can we learn to speak the language of our cell types? @nika_shakiba shows us that studying stem cells allows us to do just that! If we speak their language we can « talk » to them to learn about disease

[StemCellTalks London @LondonSct]

Stem Cells 101 with @nika_shakiba « it’s like an orchestral dance of cells to make the body »

[Danielle Spice, PhD @spicedanielle]

I love volunteering with #SCTLdn to chat Stem Cells with high schoolers and to learn from experts in the field, this year it's all about the eyes! 👀
