Speaker Profile
Ph.D., CEO, The Scintillon Inst.
Biography
Jiwu Wang is an expert on the molecular biologist of RNA, also a well-established leader in the fields of iPSC, multitargeting nanobody, and fluorescent biomarker. He founded Allele Biotech and leads its ongoing project in producing all liver cells from autologous iPSC for bioprinting transplantable liver organs funded by ARPA-H. He also leads mitochondrial research in anti-aging and mRNA formulation for rejuvenation within the Aging Research Center at the Scintillon Institute, which he also founded and now leads. His team has purpose-built a cell therapy-dedicated GMP facility in San Diego, California, and a quality system where industry-standard iPSC production, genome editing, cell banking, expansion, differentiation, and packaging are conducted both for internal liver and pancreatic beta cell therapy programs and for outside industry partners, such as Astellas, Cellular Logistics, KPharma, through licensing and contracting.
Talk
Single-Cell Multi-Omics Characterization of iPSC-Derived Liver Tissue for Transplantation
The ultimate goal of precision medicine is to reproduce whats lost and missing in a human to restore the functions, without immune suppressors, at a cost affordable to organ-transplantation patients. This talk will show how to do so from an individuals iPSC down to the level of each cell type needed to bioprint a liver.
