A special three part Pint of Science mini-series of podcasts in collaboration with Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ, the cell-coding company. Listen to the first episode below to learn how and why we are ‘coding cells for health’.
On Wednesday 7 April 2021, Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ CEO and founder Dr Mark Kotter was a speaker in the first episode of a mini-series podcast with Pint of Science.
The Pint of Science podcast is a part of the Pint of Science Festival, the world’s largest science communication festival. It gathers thousands of science curious people worldwide to introduce science in a fun, engaging, and usually pint-fuelled way. This year Pint of Science will go online from 17th-20th May in the UK with a great variety of online events.
The series kicks off with Dr Mark Kotter, founder and CEO of Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ. He covers the concept of regenerative medicine and in particular how we might use this approach for neurological conditions and spinal cord injuries – he has a personal interest as he’s a neurosurgeon as well as a CEO and founder. He reveals how Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵ is working to harness the power of stem cells and turn them into medicines by looking at biology in a different way – like a software.
“We were able to create a control system that allows us to jumpstart the programs of the cell very effectively. We call this – it takes full control of the cells identity and has made the process of cell reprogramming very robust and therefore scalable."
