Tufts in Translation: Engineering Spinal Diversity for Modeling and Repair by Dr. Nisha Iyer

Tufts University, in partnership with LabCentral, invites you to Tufts in Translation: A Faculty Speaker Series — spotlighting early-stage discoveries with strong translational relevance.

CNS drug development continues to struggle with models that oversimplify human biology.

On May 6, Nisha Iyer, PhD will present stem cell–engineered systems designed to capture spinal cord diversity with greater biological precision — creating more predictive tools for disease modeling, therapeutic screening, and regenerative strategy development.

By building cellular heterogeneity directly into engineered systems, her work aims to improve translational confidence in neuro and cell-based programs.

Why Attend

– A differentiated approach to modeling CNS complexity
– Greater biological fidelity for therapeutic screening and repair strategies
– Relevance for neuro, regenerative medicine, and cell therapy pipelines
– High-value networking within the LabCentral ecosystem

Big ideas. Early stage. Real potential.
