Day 3 #ASSCR2025 opens with Fernando Rossello benchmarking PSC-derived organoids using spatial profiling platforms. Lovely to see careful QC associated with this study.

How would you like to apply your passion for #bioinformatics to a real-world research problem? We co-supervise PhD students in a wide variety of research groups across the University of Melbourne and the Melbourne Biomedical precinct. If you're interested in doing a PhD with us, get in touch!

Inspiring #ASSCR2025 talk from Siok Tey @qimrb.bsky.social about home-grown clinical trials and manufacturing processes for new CART therapies.

Great first day of stem cell science on the beach at #ASSCR2025! Here is our @asscr.bsky.social president opening the conference. Highlights include keynote from @josh-brickman.bsky.social and presentation of @ausstemcell.bsky.social 2025 Metcalf awards. Congratulations to the worthy recipients!

Meet our Early Career Editor at #ASSCR2025! Pengyi Yang is attending the Australasian Society for Stem Cell Research (ASSCR) Conference in Gold Coast, Australia, 10-12 November 2025. Connect with Dr. Yang to discuss whether your research is a fit for publishing in Stem Cell Reports!

🌟 Congratulations to our 2025 #ASSCR Rising Star Award winners – Dr Ana Núñez Nescolarde (Harry Perkins Institute) & Dr Kevin Law (Universty of Sydney)! 👏 Honoured for excellence in stem cell research & leadership. Thanks to NSCFA for their support! 🧬✨ #StemCells #RisingStars

Day 2 @asscr.bsky.social #ASSCR2025 opens with my favourite cell type (thanks Ed Stanley!) -iPSC derived macrophages. Ed is creating the cell types needed for a type1 diabetes model

Shalin Naik @shalinhnaik.bsky.social starting with a quick ad for their recently published LoxCode mouse, before discussion of clonal hematopoiesis - introducing the concept of lineage-primed HSC. #ASSCR #CloneOfDestiny

Can't get more Australian than a talk on marsupial pluripotent stem cells from Gerard Tarulli from the TIGGR labs @asscr.bsky.social #ASSCR2025 - describing iPSC from the fat tailed Dunnart. tigrrlab.science.unimelb.edu.au

Josh Brickman @josh-brickman.bsky.social opens ASSCR with a provocative talk on transcription factor residency in early development.

The annual scientific meeting of Australian and NZ StemCell scientists is kicking off this week @asscr.bsky.social #ASSCR2025

We are celebrating 5 years of the Australia stem cell conversation! Hosted by @unimelb.bsky.social and @asscr.bsky.social the stem cell conversation is a weekly 30min virtual seminar series organised by EMCR for EMCR. Join the first 'transitions' episode Leadership through Service: 11am AEST Wed.

New from the lab - How FAIR is metadata for human pluripotent stem cells? Registered cell lines are more likely to be cited, shared and reused across different studies - but most lines are difficult to find or lack key information. Stem Cell Reports www.cell.com/stem-cell-re...

Day 2 #HCA2025GM day two demonstrates the power of global representation in genome and cell maps. @patriciasevero.bsky.social

Virtual attendees can use their registration email to watch the livestream at: buff.ly/Jlsw8X6

The human cell atlas #HCA2025GM really showcases descriptive science at scale - an atlas of human cells that engages globally. It's an exciting grass roots project. Equity and capability building are a core principle - as are coordinated networks focused on tissue specific atlases.

The room is buzzing in Singapore #HCA2025GM

Very happy to be in Singapore for #HCA2025GM

Best #Nikolaus 🎅! Our paper on how the 🫁 microenvironment can shape #innate immunity against #viruses is out @sciimmunology.bsky.social This was a herculean effort brilliantly led by @pauljbaker.bsky.social who singlehandedly established the model in the lab during the pandemic. 🧪 #Immunosky 1/9

We’re so pleased to see #HumanCellAtlas 🖥️🧬 on the cover of Nature illustrating the breadth of the HCA initiative, overlaying a subway-style network of biological systems on a detailed cellular map. Congratulations to Claire Agosti from SayoStudio and Anna Hupalowska
