StemCells@Lunch Digested

We return this week with an episode recorded during lockdown. Professor Ludovic Vallier, Professor of Regenerative Medicine within the Department of Surgery at Cambridge University and director of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre hIPSCs (human induced pluripotent stem cells) core facility, is interviewed by PhD student Alice Vickers. He talks about his work using human pluripotent cells to generate pancreas, lung, gut and liver cells. He speaks about how his involvement in industry aims to generate cell types for clinical studies and for cell based therapy.
