DeSci Researcher AMA Sessions - Project Prima Donna
Introducing Project Prima Donna: the first-ever treatment designed to regenerate lost enamel to keep you smiling for a lifetime. Enamel erosion is an irreversible, age-related condition that no one is immune from, leading to tooth sensitivity, cavities, and more severe health complications. Current solutions, such as fluoride rinses, crowns, or veneers, merely mask the problem without addressing the root cause.
Spearheaded by renowned stem cell researchers and dentists Dr. Hannele Ruohola-Baker, Dr. Julie Mathieu, and Dr. Jonathan An, this project utilizes breakthroughs in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology to develop enamel-regenerating organoids. These organoids have shown promising results in the lab and are now ready for testing in a relevant animal model.
We'll be sitting down with the three researchers to learn more about their research. Come join!
