Mahmoud presents as a Visiting Speaker at BC Children's Hospital Research Institute, the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada).
The title of his seminar is: "Human stem cell modelling of neurodevelopmental disorders: mechanistic insights and therapeutic opportunities”
Date: Tuesday April 24, 2018
Location: Room 2108, BCCHR
Time: 10-11am
Xiaohong's submission has been selected for an oral presentation at the Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Mitochondria in Suzhou (https://www.csh-asia.org/2017meetings/MITOCH.html).
She will present on using genome editing to investigate the role of post-translational modifications in Huntington disease iPSC-derived human neural cells.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2017 at 9:00AM
Kagistia and Xiaohong are scheduled to present at the Stem Cell Society of Singapore's Young Investigator Symposium on October 3, 2017 (Go Gisti and Xiaohong!)
The Symposium will be held at Matrix Level 4, Biopolis.
Mahmoud will be giving a talk on July 19th at Osaka University.
The talk is titled: What is the role of oligodendroglia in neurodegenerative disorders?
Congrats to Bryan Ng on winning the Best Poster award at the A*STAR Research Attachment Research Scholars Day for his presentation on evaluating the functional impact of phosphorylation at serine-421 in human neural cells. Well done!
Very happy to announce that our study on gene correction of Huntington disease patient-derived hiPSCs has been featured on the cover of Stem Cell Reports (Xu et al, Stem Cell Reports, 2017, 8(3):619-633) has been featured on the cover of the journal. Original Art work by Julia Yellow.
Our paper on gene correction of HD hiPSCs and HD disease modelling using isogenic stem cells will appear in the March 2017 issue of Stem Cell Reports. The paper can be accessed here (open access).
Graphical summary of the study
Great team effort led by the talented Xiaohong Xu.
Mahmoud will present at the 8th Stem Cell Society Singapore's (SCSS) Symposium titled "Modelling Cell Fate & Development".
His talk is on modeling neurodevelopmental aspects of neurodegenerative disorders using isogenic human pluripotent stem cells.
Our study evaluating laquinimod in the YAC128 mouse model of HD has been published in Scientific Reports. The paper can be accessed here (open access).
