David Butler is heading to Drexel University!
He will discuss the development of engineered intrabodies that help direct the degradation of harmful proteins inside cells.
Date | April 22
Time | 12 PM
Host | Dr. Peter Baas
Congrats to postdoctoral fellow Catherine Hamann, who was awarded the #AARFA!
Her project will use stem cell and organoid models to study how connections between brain cells break down and contribute to tau protein-related neurodegenerative conditions.
Thank you, @alzassociation.bsky.social!
Congrats to Aleena Saleem for winning the STANYS Eleanor Miller Read Science Research Award at the 2026 GCRSEF, for her project "Building a signature matrix for cell deconvolution in rat models of spinal cord injury"!
Thanks to Drs. Sol Toruella & Caitlin Hill for their guidance and mentorship!
Early results from our Luxa Biotech-sponsored and #NEIfunded #ClinicalTrial are out in #CellStemCell. The trial uses an adult RPE stem cell therapy for dry age-related #MacularDegeneration.
Beautiful cover art by Dr. Yangzi Isabel Tian.

Stem cell research is opening new doors for treating age-related #MacularDegeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss.
Join our co-founders, Drs. Jeffrey Stern and Sally Temple on @BrightFocus Foundation's Macular Chat on Wed, Oct 29.
Less than two weeks left to register for the inaugural conference on Assembloids & Complex Cell-Cell Interactions at @cshlnews.bsky.social
Check out the topics and amazing lineup of speakers!
A great piece by our friends at Michigan Medicine! We are grateful to have our first clinical trial in the skilled hands of Drs. Rajesh Rao of Kellogg Eye Center, David Liao of LA Retina and Theodore Leng of Stanford Medicine.

This first-in-human Phase 1/2a trial led by study PI Jeffrey Stern seeks to evaluate the safety and tolerability of adult RPE stem cell-derived RPE for treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration.
Big news! Early results from Cohort 1 of our Luxa Biotechnology-sponsored and #NEIfunded clinical trial are now available online at Cell Stem Cell!

@reppaultonko.bsky.social, we were delighted to discuss our work with you today! We deeply appreciate your advocacy in support of our shared goal - to improve healthcare for patients and ultimately develop cures for Alzheimer's Disease, Macular Degeneration and other neurodegenerative conditions.
We were thrilled to host Dr. Kristen Brennand of @Yale University this week! She gave a terrific talk on "Using Stem Cells to Explore the Genetics Underlying Brain Disease."
