Last week I had the pleasure of hosting Dr Marianne Bronner for our CReM seminar series. Through this series, we’re committed to giving our mentees and trainees exposure to 🤯 science from those pushing the boundaries in their field, and extraordinary mentors , and Marianne checks every single box.

Yesterday, October 7, Sir John Gurdon passed away. Dr. Gurdon was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012, together with Shinya Yamanaka. Through a series of experiments using Xenopus eggs, Gurdon showed that the nucleus of a mature cell can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state.
