3.22 Diabetes: can stem cells be a solution? - w/ Giuliano, Rhiannon & Tom Barsby The Science Basement Podcast

Strap in for a fun episode on a very serious topic: diabetes.
This week, postdoc researcher Tom Barsby joins in to discuss how diabetes could be treated with lab-grown cells.
Given they can be made "quack"!

Tom Barsby is a postdoctoral researcher in the Stem Cells and Metabolism Research Program at the University of Helsinki. His research is focused on stem cell models of beta cells and how these cells "go wrong" in people with diabetes. When he isn't wearing a lab coat and wrestling with pipettes, he can probably be found in the warm embrace of a board game or an RPG rulebook.
