2017 Scale-up and Manufacturing of Cell-Based Therapies Award Winner

摘要

Peter Zandstra has demonstrated outstanding achievements in elucidating the factors that regulate stem cell expansion and differentiation. He has also developed a fundamental understanding of the design principles for stem cell bioreactor technologies during nearly two decades at the University of Toronto. Peter's work integrates engineering and biological approaches, and he has contributed to the development of clinically and industrially relevant and academically recognized technologies based on the design of bioprocesses for the growth and differentiation of adult and pluripotent stem cells. Key contributions include: 1. High-throughput experimental assays for determining molecular regulators of stem cell behavior.
