Proud to announce publication of DevKidCC in @GenomeMedicine! The lockdown side-project that grew. DevKidCC robustly & reproducibly classifies kidney organoid #kidorg cells in #SingleCell datasets using ref-trained ML classifiers. https://t.co/mo2uHHvmGU Highlights:

Starting to get very excited (and nervous!) for my talk at ISSCR in a few weeks! Presenting a short talk about our kidney assembloid protocol - check out our recent preprint for a sneak peek! https://t.co/BFuccMUMoN #ISSCR2025 #kidneyorganoids

reNEW’s Annual Report 2024 is out.

A little more than three years since our research collaboration across three nodes – @UCPH, in Denmark, @LUMC_Leiden in the Netherlands and @MCRI_for_kids in Australia – began, our collaborative work is yielding tangible results. reNEW now runs 52 targeted #stemcell projects and is involved in four clinical trials.

Pleased to be sharing this chapter written with Nils @LindstromLab for Current Topics in Developmental Biology! Here we dive into how #nephrons establish proximal-distal patterning during #KidneyDevelopment & what this means for #StemCell-derived nephrons: https://t.co/sAXMLzl1Jh

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

We are hiring!

Postdoctoral position available in the Little Group, Copenhagen University.

We study kidney organoids using microscopy, transcriptomics, bioinformatics, bioengineering... all the fun stuff!!!

Incredibly pleased to share our recent work on the development of iHSCs- a story that started before my time and it’s been an honour generating blue MLE mice. 🐁 🧫 congratulations to Elizabeth , Andrew, Ed and the labs!

How to build a mucociliary epithelium (MCE)? Lesson from frogs!🐸
Extremely happy to share our collaborative work with @kedar_natarajan lab, where we profiled developing Xenopus laevis MCE from pluripotent to specialized cell types by scRNAseq. 🧵(1/8):

Innovation Fund Denmark grants millions to reNEW led research center

StemScreen will operate thanks to grant a EUR 3.3 million from @Innofond. It's collaboration between researchers at @UCPH_health and the biotech firms, @Bioneer A/S and Synklino A/S.

I jumped on board to check it out and my oh my ChatGPT delivering the goods... honestly I am amazed #stemcells #organoids #ChatGPT

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

We have organoids!!! 🍒 on top of a great week. Superb effort from the team @inesmpsan & Jea to get #kidneyorganoid experiments going so rapidly! Excited for the next steps @reNEW_Global

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

It was amazing to be hosted by Cathelijne, @RabelinkT and the group 🤩. Thanks to everyone who came to the lecture & shared ideas/projects during my visit, felt very welcome!! #collaborativescience #kidneyorganoids

[reNEW @reNEW_Global]

This week started with a beautiful example what reNEW has to offer for young researchers. Post-doc @sbwil91 started his career at MCRI, transferred to UCPH to start in a new group and was able to visit LUMC and learn from their experiences. Hopefully more examples will follow!

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

Great way to end the week, seeing our #stemcells start to differentiate towards #kidneyorganoids. With luck will have some nephron-filled blobs in a few weeks - and some pretty images! 🫰

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

@mincle And removed the greys ;)
Our wonderful RA Inês inspecting the cells

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

First job done for the Copenhagen arm of the (Melissa) Little group - #stemcells in culture! Next up: #kidneyorganoids 🤩🫰#reNEW

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

See how @JMVanslambrouck and co (yes, I'm in there 😉) improved the PT in #stemcell derived #kidneyorganoids and used it to model covid infectivity. Beautiful science, congrats all!

[Jessica M Vanslambrouck @JMVanslambrouck]

Excited to share our new paper in @NatureComms: https://t.co/X7Dj4uYu85. We can make stem cell-derived kidneys (kidney organoids) with enhanced proximal tubules to benefit disease research and treatment in the future. @MCRI_for_kids @TheDohertyInst.

[Aude Dorison @AudeDorison]

Thrilled to announce the publication of this research paper on NPHS2 variants and their impact on Podocin trafficking unraveling new insights on steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome pathophysiology using iPSC-derived kidney organoids. @MCRI_for_kids #kidney #organoid #stemcells

[Sean Wilson @sbwil91]

Thank you @HydraSchool for the most incredible week of intense #stemcell science delivered by world leading researchers. Not a bad choice of location either 😉!
