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.
