Liver everything, human pluripotent stem cells, organoids, cell based therapy believer, opinions are my own.
A massive update: At least ~15 companies~ are selling scientists antibodies using faked validation data. We've documented 18,000+ manipulated images on 17,000+ products sold by leading laboratory suppliers including Thermo Fisher, Abcam, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Millipore Sigma and Bio-Techne. 1/🧵
Super excited to announce the Berlin Organoid Symposium - 2nd Edition Berlin 06 – 07 October 2026 It will bring together leading researchers and emerging scientists to explore the next frontiers of organoid biology. For more information and registration: lnkd.in/daMkTbZQ

I look forward to hosting Mattia Gerli at the BCRT for an exciting talk on organoids (and more) derived from amniotic fluid. Next week on Monday 11th of May at BCRT at 1 pm. Please join us for exciting discussion.
Very pleased to host Matthias Lutolf next week for the external seminar serie of the BCRT. See below and all welcome. Looking forward to hear more about bioengineering and organoids (maybe even some liver organoids?).
🧫 When self-healing isn't enough in chronic liver disease: stem cell expert Ludovic Vallier @vallierlab.bsky.social, Einstein Strategic Prof @bihatcharite.bsky.social, and his team are developing liver organoids - miniature livers grown from stem cells: www.einsteinfoundation.de/podcast/podc...
Congrats to @elisamoutin.bsky.social, Postdoc @vallierlab.bsky.social, on receiving a Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Postdoct Fellowship. Elisa will study how genetic and epigenetic alterations in chronic liver disease drive hepatocyte–cholangiocyte transdifferentiation and contribute to cancer.
Into genomics? On March 12, Einstein Prof Malte Spielmann, together with host Einstein Prof Ludovic Vallier @vallierlab.bsky.social, will delve into "The Dark Side of the Genome: Challenges and Opportunities in the Post-Genomic Era" at @bihatcharite.bsky.social. www.bihealth.org/en/notices/t...
