Time:
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Location:
Room 7002, Clinical and Translational Research Center
Presenter:
Shawn Hingtgen, PhD Assistant Professor UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Sponsor:
Clinical and Translational Science Institute KL2 Mentored Career Development Program

Dr. Hingtgen is an Assistant Professor in the Eshelmen School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He works in the Division of Molecular Pharmaceutics and in particular, in glioblastoma, or GBM. His seminar will cover stem cell-based therapies and how they hold the potential to redefine therapeutic approaches and provide cures for many terminal diseases. His group works on a relatively unknown aspect of stem cells: they naturally seek out cancer. They harness this tumor-homing property and ability to function as in situ drug pumps to develop new stem cell-based therapies for cancer, including brain cancer.
