Curing diabetes with stem cells - Vanessa LaPointe

Stem cells have been a hot topic for a while but not everyone knows what they actually are. Dr Vanessa LaPointe will tell us all about how stem cells work, their role in regenerative medicine (like eye and kidney treatments), and their path from the lab to the market. As the CEO of a new company "Lighthouse Biomedical", Vanessa discusses a developing stem cell therapy that has the potential to cure diabetes. For our listeners thinking about their future in healthcare, Vanessa touches upon the differences between academia and entrepreneurship. Hosts and Writers: Nika Cindori and Rossana Serlenga Editor: Rossana SerlengaOutreach manager: Nika CindoriCoordinator: Ekaterina Kasyanova
