Room A(ROHM Theatre Kyoto/South Hall)
Chairpersons:Hideyuki Okano(Keio Univ.), Mototsugu Eiraku(Kyoto Univ.)
In recent years, the stem cell field has seen remarkable technological advances for recapitulating human development in vitro. It is now possible to induce germ cells from pluripotent stem cells and to recapitulate key developmental events such as somite formation and neural formation in vitro. Together with rapidly evolving omics tools such as single cell-RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and CRISPR-based cell lineage tracing, cutting-edge technology in the stem cell field is providing us with new insights into human development. In this session, we will discuss future directions in developmental biology with leading researchers in stem cells and cutting-edge omics technology, as well as basic scientists in germ development and early embryogenesis.
