The Driving Force Behind the iPS Cell Research Scene

Join us on Science View for a special 28-minute documentary on the development of iPS cell-based therapies. We'll be featuring Ms. Naoko Takasu who works tirelessly at the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application, and who supports director Shinya Yamanaka, the Nobel Laureate who discovered iPS cells. Appointed deputy director in April, Ms. Takasu juggles many responsibilities. On top of supporting researchers nearing the clinical application stage, she supervises the iPS Cell Stock project, facilitates joint research projects, and leads a group that fundraises for iPS cell research -- the latter of which is an uncommon initiative for Japanese universities. In today's program we'll take a look at iPS cell research from the perspective of someone who works behind the scenes.
