Sessions & Posters
Join STEMCELL scientists for exciting new Innovation Showcases, posters, and a detailed Focus Session with COREdinates.
Focus Session: Recent Insights and Trends in Pluripotent Stem Cell Research (Part of COREdinates Group: Tools for Basic and Applied Stem Cell Technology)
Speaker: Andrew Gaffney, PhD
Innovation Showcase: Applications of Organoid and Organotypic Cultures in Infectious Diseases, Nephrotoxicity, and Highly Relevant Cell-Based Assay Development
Speaker: Juan Hou, PhD
Juan Hou is the Senior Scientist and Team Lead for the Pulmonary Tissue Team at STEMCELL Technologies. Juan obtained her MD from China and her PhD in developmental biology from Osaka University, Japan. Following her PhD studies, Juan moved to Vancouver and worked at the Terry Fox Laboratory of British Columbia Cancer Research Center as a Postdoctoral Fellow (and subsequently a Research Associate), where her main research was focused on studying the formation, patterning, and differentiation of definitive endoderm, the progenitor cells of the epithelial lining of respiratory and digestive tracts. She brings 15+ years of research experience in developmental biology and respiratory research to her current position. She is currently overseeing the existing pulmonary product portfolios and the development of new products that support cutting-edge respiratory research.
Speaker: Martin Stahl, PhD
Martin Stahl received a PhD in Microbiology at the University of Ottawa and conducted his postdoctoral research with Dr. Bruce Vallance at the University of British Columbia and the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute, where he studied infection and immunity in the gut. Martin now works with STEMCELL Technologies developing applications and assays for intestinal organoid cultures.
Speaker: Philipp Kramer, PhD
Philipp Kramer attended Freie Universität Berlin, where he studied biology. After obtaining his PhD, he undertook postdoctoral training at the University of Texas, followed by another fellowship at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics in Oxford. In 2016, Philipp joined the Intestinal Team at STEMCELL Technologies and has successfully launched the STEMdiff™ Intestinal and Kidney Organoid Kits.
