Nature Research Round Table: The Process of Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Adaptation

Dr. Ivana Barbaric from the Center for Stem Cell Biology at the University of Sheffield talks about culture-acquired genetic changes in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), ways of detecting them, and implications for research and downstream clinical therapies. This presentation and the following Q&A session were moderated by Dr. Peter Andrews from the University of Sheffield.

This presentation was part of a Round Table series titled "Challenges in Ensuring hPSC Quality", hosted in partnership with Nature Research. Global experts gathered at the Springer Nature headquarters in London, UK, to tackle some of the most pertinent issues impacting the use of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), ranging from fundamental biology research to therapeutic applications.
