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 […]
Earlier this year, Jeffrey Millman, PhD received sub-award funding from JDRF to support his lab’s extensive research in advancing diabetes cell replacement therapy. The scarcity of pancreas donors has severely limited the supply of insulin-producing islets for clinical transplantation, prompting the exploration of alternative sources. Dr. Millman has pioneered approaches to generate lab-grown islets from […]
On May 2, Punn Augsornworawat, PhD received the Biomedical Engineering Outstanding Research Award for his work in the single-cell sequencing of stem cell-derived islets for diabetes cell therapy. Augsornworawat joined the Millman Lab back in 2018 as a doctoral student in the Biomedical Engineering PhD program. His interests lie in using bioinformatics to study islet development […]
