Genomics Lite: Genomic cartography - Navigating with a human cell atlas

Our guest speakers for our April Genomics Lite were Dr. Laure Gambardella and Dr. Chloe Admane, Senior Staff Scientist and Visiting Scientist respectively, at the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

In this Genomics Lite session, Laure and Chloe first introduce us to the world of stem cells, what they are, their potential in the body and research as well as taking us on a journey on how far stem cell research has come over the last few decades. To round off the session they explored how they can use a map of human skin cells to draw hypotheses as well as touched upon how they actually go about building these skin models in the lab.
