Yale Stem Cell Center Seminar: “Making and mending the heart with neural crest cells”

“Making and Mending the Heart with Neural Crest Cells,” featuring Dr. Megan Martik, Assistant Professor of Genetics, Genomics & Development at UC Berkeley. Dr. Martik’s research explores how neural crest cells, a multipotent stem cell population, contribute to heart development, craniofacial structures, and the nervous system. Her team investigates the gene regulatory networks guiding these cells from embryonic development to tissue regeneration, their role in disease onset, and their evolutionary significance. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about groundbreaking research with potential therapeutic applications.
