Abstract：

Recent advances in stem cell biology may make possible new approaches for the treatment of a number of diseases. A better understanding of molecular mechanisms that control stem cell fate as well as an improved ability to manipulate them are required. Toward these goals, Dr. Ding’s lab has developed and implemented high throughput cell-based phenotypic screenings of arrayed chemical libraries to identify and further characterize small molecules that can control stem cell fate in various systems. This talk will provide latest examples of discovery efforts in his lab that have advanced their ability and understanding toward controlling stem cell fate, including self-renewal, survival, differentiation and reprogramming of pluripotent stem cells.
