Long-term engrafting multilineage hematopoietic cells differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) have important biomedical applications. We identified differentiation conditions that generate HSCs defined by robust long-term multilineage engraftment in ...

It’s official — my first science child is heading to Cambridge for a PhD! 🥹🎓💫
Huge congratulations to Apapist Panichewa! Peacy joined us during her undergrad, and subsequently undertook her Honours project co-supervised by Andrew and myself.
Cambridge is lucky to have you, Peacy! ✨🧬🌍
