SBME Seminar: Reconstitution of mammalian life cycle in vitro – Dr. Nobuhiko Hamazaki
Seminar Abstract:
Mammalian development is still enigmatic processes as it undergoes all the process in mother’s uterus. Historically, simply taking any part of the processes out from the uterus to dish has brought tremendous findings. For example, in vitro fertilization and the subsequent culture of embryos up to the blastocyst stage have given us the opportunity to monitor, manipulate, and investigate post-fertilization development. Here we will introduce two in vitro model systems: directly induced oocyte-like cells (DIOLs) and human advanced gastruloid model, which recapitulates mouse oocyte development and human post-gastrulation development, respectively, entirely in vitro. These systems provide robust and scalable platforms for investigating the mechanisms underlying mammalian life cycles, as well as failures in these processes, including infertility and developmental diseases.
Dr. Nobuhiko Hamazaki’s Biography
I did a 1st Postdoc in Japan in Katsuhiko Hayashi lab and did 2nd Postdoc in Seattle in Jay Shendure lab. Recently I started my own lab at the University of Washington to pursue the fundamental biological questions by integrating genomics tools to stem cell models.
