"I believe in putting your best energy and foot forward to see things through to their conclusion. Being considered for the ISSCR board is an honor, and serving provides an opportunity to address common challenges and participate in shaping the direction of the society to meet the evolving needs of the field with industry and industry adjacent needs in mind," Dr. Ludwig added.
With a career dedicated to fostering innovation through collaboration, Dr. Ludwig's work embodies WiCell's mission to support and accelerate stem cell research. WiCell invites the stem cell research community and the public to support Dr. Ludwig in the upcoming ISSCR board election, recognizing her invaluable contributions and vision for a more inclusive and collaborative future in stem cell science.
