IREMers to participate in JST Sakura Science Exchange Program
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. -
CiRA-IREM Joint Symposium on 29 October
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.

Key Driver for Epithelial Cancer Development Identified
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.
