In a significant step towards fostering international collaboration in the field of regenerative medicine, the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA) at Kyoto University recently hosted seven researchers (Beatriz Achón Buil,Vanessa Budny, Arian Ehterami, Carmen Helfensteiner, Nora Rentsch, David Taborsky, and Dennis Zorndt) and their mentor Dr. Melanie Generali from the Institute for Regenerative Medicine (IREM), University of Zurich (UZH) for a 21-day research exchange.
To continue the fruitful collaboration between CiRA and IREM, several young scientists and a faculty from IREM will visit Kyoto this fall for an internship program at CiRA sponsored by the JST Sakura Science Exchange Program.
Seven IREM researcher will stay in diverse labs at CiRA and learn new techniques but also dive into the Japanese culture. Dr. Melanie Generali will accompany them as a mentor and share her experiences with them.
Close ties between the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA), Kyoto University, and the Institute for Regenerative Medicine (IREM) at the University of Zurich have formed since 2017 to work together on our shared goal of advancing next-generation medicine. Following the successful iPSZürich Symposium 2024 in Zurich, an IREM delegation is now traveling to Kyoto to deepen the scientific exchange.
A distinct signaling pathway called TNF-α drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. During cancer progression, cells activate their own TNF-α program and become invasive. This finding could help to improve early detection and treatment of patients with cancers in skin, esophagus, bladder or colon, as UZH researchers state.
Das UZHmagazin widmet in der Ausgabe 2/2024 der Stammzellenforschung am IREM einen Artikel. Melanie Generali und Simon Hoerstrup stellen das IREM und die iPSC Core Facility vor.
UZH and Kyoto University work together closely in the field of stem cell research. As part of this collaboration, a high-level conference is taking place in Zurich this week with researchers from both countries. The event was organized by stem cell researcher Melanie Generali and her team, Vanessa Budny, Melanie Eschment, Clara Duré and David Taborsky.
Award-Winning 3R Research Reduces Animal Experiments
UZH is developing alternative methods to animal experiments in line with the 3Rs principle. To highlight outstanding achievements of its members in the field of 3Rs, the university has introduced the UZH 3R Award, which has now gone to Giuseppe Esposito and Melanie Generali.
