StemCells@Lunch Digested

On today’s episode, Prof Michael Levin, a renowned regenerative and developmental biologist of Tufts University and Wyss Institute at Harvard University, is interviewed by Dr Davide Danovi, a group leader in Centre of Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine in King’s College London. Mike talks about his multi-disciplinary work in decoding bioelectrical signals of cells, in particularly how information is stored, processed and used for functions within the biological system. He discusses how this biological knowledge can give rise to applications in machine learning and artificial intelligence. He also shares his view on ways to communicate across different disciplines, and how to be equipped for a multi-disciplinary mindset and skillsets.
