THE EXPERT

Dr. Cody Kime, PhD

World-class stem cell biologist and former investigator at RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research. Trained in the Nobel Prize-winning Yamanaka Lab and the lab of revolutionary pioneer Masayo Takahashi MD PhD. Pioneer in induced totipotency, synthetic embryogenesis, novel reprogramming system design/development, and game-changing livestock technologies.

Dr. Kime has spent over 15 years pushing the boundaries of cellular reprogramming. His groundbreaking work on stem-cell-derived blastocyst-like structures and totipotent reprogramming continues to influence regenerative medicine, organoid technology, and agricultural biotechnology.
