We are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. Holm Zähres as a keynote speaker for our upcoming Stem Cells and Extracellular Vesicles Educational Day.

Prof. Dr. Holm Zähres – Stem Cell Engineering

Ruhr University Bochum | Institute of Anatomy | Department of Anatomy and Molecular Embryology (Bochum, NRW, Germany)

Member of the Stem Cell Network NRW

Academic leadership (Stem Cell Medicine)

• Academic contributor and content contact for the international Master of Science in Stem Cell Medicine (Ruhr University Bochum).

• Module coordination and teaching across stem cell engineering/regenerative medicine topics within the program.

• Active development of interdisciplinary stem-cell curricula (including the iSTEM/Stem Cell Biology training line).

Research focus (pluripotent stem cells & disease modeling)

• Reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and studying mechanisms that govern pluripotency.

• iPS-based differentiation and functional modeling in neural and muscle systems.

• Genome editing-enabled disease models, including neurodegenerative and skeletal muscle disorders.

Selected approaches and expertise

• Stem cell engineering workflows spanning reprogramming, lineage differentiation, and in vitro disease models.

• Integration of developmental biology concepts into translational training and experimental design.

• Bridging academic training and networked research through the Stem Cell Network NRW.
