Join biologist Aparna Venkatesh as she gives us a glimpse of cutting edge stem cell research. Aparna specializes in genome editing, which can eliminate disease-causing mutations by changing the underlying genetic code. She is currently doing groundbreaking research on Down syndrome, seeking solutions to the genetic mutation.
Recorded at INK2015, Mumbai
Aparna received her Ph.D in medicine from University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy. As a senior research scientist in Molecular Engineering Laboratory in Singapore, she is currently heading a stem cell differentiation project to develop in vitro cellular models for neurological conditions. She is also actively involved in the Stem Cell Society of Singapore and is the chairperson of their biennial Young Investigator’s Symposium
