SUMMARY:Modelling Neural Disorders Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells by Hyunsoo Shawn Je
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to inform you on the seminar of Prof. Hyunsoo Shawn Je\, hosted by Prof. Yusuke Toyama “Modelling Neural Disorders Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells” on 26th Oct (Monday) @ 4pm via Zoom. \nMBI Seminar\nTime: 4.00pm\nDate: Monday\, 26 October 2020\nVenue: Online seminar via ZOOM \nModelling Neural Disorders Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells\nBy Prof. Hyunsoo Shawn Je\, Associate Professor\, Duke-NUS Medical School\, Singapore \nThe ability to make functional neural cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides a unique opportunity to study human brain development and neural disorders. In this seminar\, I will present recent findings from our laboratory -1) the direct induction and functional maturation of human forebrain glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons derived from hPSCs (Sun et al.\, 2016)\, 2) the generation of human midbrain-like organoids from hPSCs (Jo et al.\, 2016; Kwak et al.\, 2020)\, and 3) their utilities in modelling human brain disorders (Sun et al.\, 2019). \nMBI Seminar Fully Webcasted\nIf you need help connecting\, contact MBI ITCore at mbit@nus.edu.sg.

SUMMARY:MBI YSS: Mechanics in growth & development\, a one day symposium on morphogenesis\, differentiation\, proliferation and more!
DESCRIPTION:The MBI Young Scientists Group is excited to announce that the Mechanobiology Institute (MBI) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is organizing the Mechanobiology Institute Young Scientist Symposium (MBIYSS) 2020. Organized by The MBI Young Scientist Group\, this symposium is in conjunction with MBI’s upcoming conference: The Mechanobiology of Morphogenesis. The theme for the MBIYSS 2020 is “Mechanics in Growth and Development. \nThe symposium will be held on October 27\, 2020 (Tuesday)\, and will be completely online in view of the ongoing travel restrictions. It will feature talks by young scientists about their research on cell differentiation\, cell migration and proliferation in organogenesis\, novel techniques to study development\, regeneration\, and mechanotransduction. In addition to long (15 min) and short (7 min) talks\, we will also have a three-minute-thesis (3MT) contest\, with awards for each category. This will be followed by an informal interaction session\, giving participants an opportunity for discussion and networking. \nRegistration for the symposium is currently open and is FREE. We welcome abstract submissions for talks from current graduate students\, postdoctoral fellows or research staff from around the world\, working in Mechanobiology and related fields (submit your abstract here). The deadline for abstract submission is October 7\, 2020. Participants who are interested in only attending the symposium can register here by October 25\, 2020. \nFor more details\, please visit www.mbiyss.com. \nFor any queries\, feel free to drop us an email at mbi.gsc@u.nus.edu. \nDownload full size PDF flyer here.
