USC Stem Cell Seminar: Bill Lowry, UCLA

Speaker: Bill Lowry, UCLA

Talk Title: Manipulation of maturation in the human neural lineage

Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series

Abstract: Our lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions during development. We use in vitro models of human development with pluripotent stem cells to uncover the mechanisms by which cells acquire particular fates after germ layer specification. In a collaboration with the Plath lab, we reprogrammed human somatic cells to a pluripotent state and now use hiPSCs to model both development and disease in vitro. We have defined factors that affect the maturation of the neural progenitors as they produce either neurons or glia.
