"Generation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived microvessels as a microvascularization solution for engineered tissues"
Kasinan Suthiwanich is a senior postdoctoral researcher in the Vasconcelos Lab for Cardiovascular Research and Regeneration at University Health Network in Toronto, Canada. He received his PhD in biointerface physics from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2020 and previously worked as a researcher at the Japanese national research agency RIKEN where he developed the MultiCUBE platform for compartmentalizing different organoid-culturing microenvironment. Currently, Kasinan is developing microvessel from hPSC-derived cells for intramyocardial transplantation in myocardial infarction models and for supporting the survival of insulin-producing pancreatic aggregates in diabetic models.
