“Neurodegenerative Diseases” Featuring Dr. Clive Svendsen

On this episode of the Stem Cell Podcast, Dr. Clive Svendsen from Cedars-Sinai talks about using stem cells to model spinal muscular atrophy and the blood-brain barrier, and his cell-gene therapy trial for ALS.

Dr. Clive Svendsen is the Executive Director of the Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai. His lab uses stem cells to develop models and treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. He talks about using stem cells to model spinal muscular atrophy and the blood-brain barrier, and his cell-gene therapy trial for ALS.

Dr. Clive Svendsen is an expert in the area of neurodegeneration, and has had a productive career modeling and developing potential cell-based therapeutics for various neurodegenerative diseases. His lab also focuses on organ-on-chip strategies for modeling physiological barrier functions, and has recently even delved into space biology!
