Guest:Dr. Insoo Hyun is the Director of the Center for Life Sciences and Public Learning at the Museum of Science in Boston, and a Member of the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics. He talks about embryo models for early development, his work on the ISSCR’s guidelines for stem cell research, and advances in reproductive medicine.Featured Products and Resources: Meet the hosts of the Stem Cell Podcast at ISSCR 2023! Explore career opportunities at STEMCELL. The Stem Cell Science Round UpA New Small Molecule for Neuroregeneration – Scientists identified a PI3Kα activator that induces cell proliferation, provides cardioprotection, and stimulates nerve regeneration.Zebrafish Heart Regeneration – Researchers used ex vivo imaging to visualize intracellular calcium dynamics in the regenerating zebrafish heart.Signaling Pathways and Cell Fate – Scientists used optogenetics to study how ERK and AKT dynamics affect mouse embryonic stem cell fates.Milk and Cardiomyocyte Maturation – Maternal milk provides an essential signal that triggers the maturation of heart metabolism after birth.Photo Reference: Courtesy of Dr. Insoo Hyun	#footable_5807  {    font-family: inherit;

Ep. 243: “Ethics and Policy” Featuring Dr. Insoo Hyun

Brain organoids are a new experimental model which will have broad implications for understanding and treating diseases of the brain. But as their sophistication continues to increase, could this ultimately lead to the develop of consciousness in vitro?Dr Insoo Hyun joins us in this episode to discuss bioethics and brain organoids. In the episode we cover:1) What brain organoids are, and the history of their development.2) How new scientific paradigms force are forcing philosophers to reassess age-old philosophical questions.3) How getting close to the actual research is important for ethics in the biomedical sciences.4) What it would mean for an organoid to develop 'consciousness', and how we might consider the ethical and philosophical implications.Dr Hyun is a bioethicist and the Director of Research Ethics at Harvard Medical School, as well as a professor of bioethics at Case Western Reserve Medical School. He's a prinicipal investigator a BRAIN initiative project to study bioethical questions surrounding human brain organoids, and he has also worked on various committees at the ISSCR.
