In episode 209 of the Stem Cell Podcast, we chat with Dr. Ru Gunawardane, Executive Director at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, who leads a group of researchers creating a collection of high-quality gene edited stem cell lines to study cell organization and activities through live cell imaging. We also chat with Dr. Kaytlyn Gerbin, a Scientist at the Allen Institute, whose work focuses on implementing cardiac differentiation methods and developing the cardiomyocyte pipeline using gene-edited hiPSCs. They discuss the Institute’s mission to understand the fundamentals of how cells work, how they generate their gene-edited stem cell lines, and their recent work tracking cell states in hiPSC-derived cardiomyocytes.
