To Immunity and Beyond<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The CDTRP is pleased to present a 13-part webinar series designed to disseminate CIHR-funded immunology research, foster knowledge exchange, and strengthen collaboration across Canada\u2019s immunity, donation, and transplantation communities. A national virtual series disseminating cutting-edge immunology research at the intersection of immunity, infection, organ donation, and transplantation.<\/h5>\n
The series includes\u00a0two primer webinars\u00a0on foundational immunology topics for non-specialists (offered bilingually), alongside eleven main scientific webinars\u00a0pairing mid- to late-career investigators with trainees or showcasing early-career researchers.<\/h5>\n<\/div>

About Dr. Ian Rogers<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

Dr. Rogers is a Professor at the University of Toronto (Dept of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dept of Physiology) and Scientist at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute. He graduated with his PhD from the University of Toronto. His thesis focused on early embryo development. He completed his Post Doc with Robert Casper (University of Toronto) developing cell therapies using umbilical cord blood cells to treat spinal cord injury, peripheral vascular disease and diabetic skin wounds.<\/p>\n

Started at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute , Mt. Sinai Hospital in 2004 with a research focus on Stem Cells.<\/p>\n

Dr. Rogers\u2019 lab is focused on developing therapies three dimensional tissue culture systems to improve stem cell therapies. By combining stem cells with decellularized organs his aim is to advance studies on stem cell differentiation, cell-cell signaling and understanding the complex three-dimensional organization of cells into functional organs and tissues. Dr. Rogers is also the Scientific Founder of Insception Lifebank, a Stem Cell Bank Company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

About Ryan Wu<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

I graduated this year from the University of Toronto with majors in physiology as well as cell and molecular biology. I first joined the Rogers lab as a 4th year research student where I investigated the properties and mechanism of trogocytosis in human and mouse MSC co-cultures. This has fostered my passion for researching bone marrow stem cells and motivated me to pursue a master\u2019s degree where I will be expanding on this project. Our goal is to further screen for enhancers of trogocytosis and assess their applicability to in-vivo transplant models.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":34457,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34454","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34454"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34454"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34454\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34463,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34454\/revisions\/34463"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
