Webinar Description:

Join us for an insightful webinar on the "Emerging Techniques in Cell Replacement Therapy for Pancreatic Diseases." This session will dive deep into cutting-edge methodologies revolutionizing pancreatic disease treatments. Highlighted topics include state-of-the-art hPSCs protocols to derive beta-like cells—a promising avenue in regenerative medicine. Exploring innovative horizons, the webinar will also feature discussions on Decellularized Extracellular Matrix (ECM) used in the bioengineering of islets. Discover the significance of ECM in recreating a nurturing environment for islet development and functionality. Additionally, explore the frontiers of Islet Transplantation Sites, and their impact on successful transplantation outcomes. Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to expand your knowledge and understanding of these ground-breaking approaches in the field of pancreatic disease management.

Key Learning Objectives: 

The webinar will provide an overview and discussion of cutting-edge cells replacement therapy for diabetes.  In this 1 h webinar we will illustrate and discuss the following topics:

- hPSCs protocols to derive beta like cells.
- Decellularized ECM for islet bioengineering.
- Islet transplantation sites.

Dr. Adriana Migliorini is a senior postdoctoral research fellow in Dr. Maria Cristina Nostro’s laboratory, at the McEwen Stem Cell Institute, University Health Network, Toronto, Canada. She studied medical biotechnology at the University of Florence (Italy) and completed her Ph.D. in human biology, at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. Her research primarily revolves around the field of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and developmental biology, with a specific focus on the pancreas. Her current work involves investigating the composition and phenotype of the fetal pancreatic immune niche to gain a deeper understanding of its role during endocrine development and to explore novel applications for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).
