AUGUST 2022:
Congratulations to Marina Pavlou for receiving the 2022-2023 ISCRM Postdoctoral Fellowship! Well deserved!
January 2022:
Check out our new publication “Single-cell ATAC-seq of fetal human retina and stem-cell-derived retinal organoids shows changing chromatin landscapes during cell fate acquisition” in Cell Reports!
December 2021:
Congratulations to Akshaya Sridhar and Marcus Hooper on their new positions at Genentech and the Allen Institute! We will miss you!
October 2021:
Check out our new paper “Efficient stimulation of retinal regeneration from Müller glia in adult mice using combinations of proneural bHLH transcription factors” in Cell Reports. We test new BHLH factors to see a greater diversity of fates in reprogrammed cells, as well as greater reprogramming efficiency. For an overview of the paper check out our press release, linked here.
