On March 5, Jeffrey Millman, PhD was featured on The Sugar Science’s Ask the Expert webinar series, hosted on YouTube. The episode was titled “Unraveling Cellular Complexity in Stem Cell-Derived Islet Identity through Single-Cell Sequencing.”
In the webinar, Dr. Millman gave an overview of using stem cell-derived islets in diabetes cellular therapy, and a comparative and integrative single cell analysis revealing new insights into transcriptional immaturity of stem cell-derived β cells. Additionally, he discusses how single-nucleus multi-omics of human stem cell-derived islets identify deficiencies in lineage specification.
The Sugar Science is an interactive digital platform with the goal of “expediting a cure for type 1 diabetes by promoting collaboration across diverse research disciplines.”
