Modeling differentiation of human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells into endodermal derivatives

KAUST
Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering

Prof A Adamo

Applications accepted all year round

The Laboratory of Stem Cells and Diseases (STEMD-Lab) is seeking a highly motivated candidate to develop a project based on the use of human embryonic stem cells (hES) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to derive glucose sensitive differentiated cell types (i.e.

Regulation of autophagy in human embryonic stem cells and its therapeutic application in induced pluripotent stem cell-based disease models

University of Birmingham
Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences

Dr S Sarkar

Applications accepted all year round

Project background. Regulation of proteostasis is critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis. Autophagy, a major intracellular degradation pathway essential for cellular and energy homeostasis, functions in the clearance of aggregation-prone proteins and damaged organelles.
