RRF/Neural Stem Cell Institute is the first independent, non-profit stem cell research institute in the U.S. NSCI is dedicated to developing therapies for conditions of the nervous system, including #neurodegeneration, #spinalcordinjury and #maculardegeneration. Twitter @NeuralStemCells
We had a terrific time with the #NIIMBLeXperience students hosted by ACPHS and the Stack Family Center for Biopharmaceutical Education and Training (CBET) program! These students are the future of pharmacy, biomanufacturing, bioengineering, and cell science. We love to see it!
Many thanks to Brigitte Arduini, Runia Roy, Dylan Murphy, Jade Kozak, Carmen Nazario, Liz Fisher, Susan Goderie, Habiba Khan, Sally Temple and Jeffrey Stern!
Proceedings from the 2024 Global Tau Conference are available through the Alzheimer's Association in collaboration with @CurePSP and the #RainwaterCharitableTrust.

We were thrilled to host Dr. Kristen Brennand of @Yale University this week! She gave a terrific talk on "Using Stem Cells to Explore the Genetics Underlying Brain Disease."
Congrats to the winners and to everyone who completed the @CDPHP #WorkforceTeamChallenge!

What a week! Many thanks to the #ARVO2025 organizers for a terrific meeting! We loved spending time with great colleagues, catching up with old friends and hearing about so much inspiring #VisionResearch 👀 in beautiful #SaltLakeCity.
That's a wrap! Sally Temple, Taylor Bertucci and Kate Tubbesing all spoke at the annual #NIHfunded Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project #FunctionalGenomics meeting at the @Gladstone Institutes.
Today! Jeff Stern presents "Safety & Tolerability of RPE Stem Cell-derived RPE Implantation in Patients with Dry Age-related #MacularDegeneration: Early Low Dose Clinical Outcomes"
Session Title | Clinical advances in cell & gene therapy
Time | 8:30 - 10:15 AM
Room | Ballroom B
Today @ #ARVO2025: Brigitte Arduini will present "Preclinical safety and efficacy of an adult progenitor cell product, RPESC-RPE-4W, as therapy for dry Age-Related #MacularDegeneration"
Session Info
Title | Stem cell and gene therapy
Time | 3:15 - 5pm (talk @ 3:15pm)

In one week, our own Dylan Murphy will be a guest presenter for the Opalka Gallery’s PechaKucha night! PechaKucha is a style of presenting in which each person has 20 slides, with 20 seconds to go over each slide, typically using only images. Dylan will present on Charles Darwin's Voyage on the Beagle!
The May 9th event will begin at 6:30pm with snacks from Druthers and Honest Weight Co-op, followed by the free program at 7pm.

We're looking forward to #ARVO2025! Brigitte Arduini will give a talk describing preclinical safety and efficacy studies that enabled an IND for our adult #stemcell therapy to treat dry Age-related #MacularDegeneration. Jeff Stern will present early Phase 1/2a clinical data.
😍 SOX2-positive, NESTIN-positive neural progenitor cells differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells. NPCs are generated, banked and quality-tested in our core facilitiy, #Neuracell, for distribution to the neuroscience research community.

🔊 Today! Sally Temple is presenting on "Using Patient-derived Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC)-derived Organoids to Study the Time-Course of Neurodegenerative Disease" at @Indiana University Bloomington.
Drs. Brigitte Arduini and Jeffrey Stern will be presenting preclinical and clinical data, respectively, on our Luxa-sponsored adult stem cell-derived investigational therapy for age-related #MacularDegeneration at the upcoming #ARVO2025 annual meeting!

Congrats to Allison Allen, who will begin med school at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine this fall! Alli was an intern at NSCI, first in 2019 with Jenny Wang & Xiuli Zhao. She completed her UG thesis work with Shona Joy evaluating aCSP-6 in patient #stemcell derived models of #Alzheimers.
She relates, "The mentorship I received not only encouraged my passion for medicine but also shaped the way I think as a scientist and future physician."
All the best on your next steps, Alli!
🔊 Just out! Drs. David Butler and Eain Murphy teamed up to investigate the impact of HSV-1 infection on Tau protein pathology, a key aspect of Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.
