SUMMARY:BSGCT PPE Talk - How to develop a stem cell therapy
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Only \nREGISTRATION IS FREE \nBSGCT Invites you to our next Public and Patient Engagement (PPE) talk. \nIn this talk\, I will cover the pathway scientists follow to take a stem cell therapy from the lab into the hospital. I will focus on our efforts to develop a stem cell therapy for Hirschsprung disease: a congenital disease in which affected children are born missing a nervous system in a variable amount of the distal bowel. Our group is developing a cell therapy to replace these nerves and\, hopefully\, restore bowel function. \nSpeaker  \nDr Benjamin Jevans \nI am dedicated to understanding the processes involved in nerve damage and developing cell-based therapies to repair it. My work has covered spinal cord injury and Parkinson’s disease\, and over the past five years I have focused on Hirschsprung disease\, a congenital condition where children are born missing nerves in the distal bowel. I strongly believe that real progress in treating such conditions depends on bridging the gap between research and the lived experiences of patients and their families. \nThe joining link will be sent to you following registration. \n\n\n\n\nBSGCT PPE Talk – How To Develop A Stem Cell Therapy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour details\n\n\n\n	Title\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	Name\n		*\n	\n	\n	First\n	\n\n\n	Last Name\n		*\n	\n	\n	Last\n	\n\n\n	Email\n		*\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	Organisation\n		*\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	Position / role\n		*\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	BSGCT Membership Status\n		*\n	\n						\n					 Member\n					\n					 Non-member\n\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\nSubmit\n\n\n\n		\n			\n			\n			\n				If you are human\, leave this field blank.

SUMMARY:BSGCT A career journey: From PhD to CEO
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Only \nREGISTRATION IS FREE \nJoin Dr Zoe Hewitt as she shares the story of her career journey\, from completing her PhD to becoming Co-Founder and CEO of Regenerative Cell Therapy Consulting (Regen CTC) Limited. \nIn this seminar\, Zoe will reflect on the key stages of her career\, the experiences and decisions that shaped her path\, and what inspired her to take the step into entrepreneurship and build her own consultancy. \nSpeaker  \nDr Zoe Hewitt\nCo-Founder and CEO at Regenerative Cell Therapy Consulting (Regen CTC) Limited. \nZoe has a background in Pluripotent Stem Cells\, which started in 2001 when she obtained her PhD from the Roslin Institute/ University of Edinburgh. After completing her studies\, she worked with a team developing differentiation protocols for hepatocytes\, before moving to the University of Sheffield in 2006\, where she established and managed a clean room facility\, which was responsible for deriving the UKs first clinically available human Embryonic Stem Cells (MasterShef lines 1 to 14). Within this facility\, Zoe and her team were responsible for delivering the starting master cell banks (Shef1) for the London Project to Cure Blindness. This resulted in the first successful UK clinical trial of an hPSC-derived retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell replacement therapy. \nIn 2015\, Zoe moved away from active research becoming a Project Manager for the UK Regenerative Medicine Platform (UKRMP)\, firstly for the Pluripotent Stem Cell Platform (PSCP) winning the UKRMP Special Merit Award in 2017 and then for the Pluripotent Stem Cell and Engineered Cell (PSEC) Hub. The goal of the UKRMP Hubs was to advance regenerative medicine therapies by delivering innovative approaches to the rate-limiting steps of hPSC-based cell replacement therapies to enable clinical delivery and commercial development. \nZoe co-founded Regenerative Cell Therapy Consulting limited in May 2022\, where she now uses her considerable expertise to assist innovative research to translate from laboratory research\, through to commercial development and investment. \nThe joining link will be sent to you following registration. \n\n\n\n\nBSGCT A career journey: From PhD to CEO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour details\n\n\n\n	Title\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	Name\n		*\n	\n	\n	First\n	\n\n\n	Last Name\n		*\n	\n	\n	Last\n	\n\n\n	Email\n		*\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	Organisation\n		*\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	Position / role\n		*\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n\n	BSGCT Membership Status\n		*\n	\n						\n					 Member\n					\n					 Non-member\n\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\nSubmit\n\n\n\n		\n			\n			\n			\n				If you are human\, leave this field blank.
