Nathaniel Hogrebe, PhD has always had an interest in science, and now, as a junior faculty member in the Millman Lab, he has steadily built a career as a leader in diabetes research, working closely with Dr. Millman to pioneer cutting-edge research in stem cell-derived islets (SC-islets). Throughout his education, Dr. Hogrebe knew that rather […]
In a recent publication from the Millman Lab titled “Genetically Engineered Brain Organoids Recapitulate Spatial and Developmental States of Glioblastoma Progression,” Dr. Matthew Ishahak and colleagues developed engineered glioblastoma brain organoids (eGBOs) to investigate tumor progression in glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive form of brain cancer that is highly resistant to therapy. The study, published in […]
Millman Lab a 2025 Human Islet Research Network’s 10th Anniversary Meeting
Daniel Veronese-Paniagua, a sixth-year graduate student in the Millman Lab, recently published his first first-authorship as a preprint in bioRxiv. The study, titled Coxsackievirus B infection invokes unique cell-type specific responses in primary human pancreatic islets, sheds new light on the intricate mechanisms through which Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB) may trigger type 1 diabetes (T1D). The study was […]
Marlie Maestas, a fifth-year graduate student in the Millman Lab, recently published her first first-authorship in Nature Communications. The study, titled Identification of unique cell type responses in pancreatic islets to stress, detailed the responses of different pancreatic islet cell types to endoplasmic reticulum and inflammatory stress. Maestas and her colleagues used single-cell RNA sequencing […]
