The speech traces the revolutionary journey of regenerative medicine, beginning with the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996 by Ian Wilmut, which proved that even specialized adult cells could be reprogrammed. A decade later, Shinya Yamanaka advanced this idea by creating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), capable of becoming any cell type without using embryos. The speaker, now a scientist, works on transforming iPSCs into insulin-producing cells to treat type 1 diabetes, illustrating the real-world impact of this technology. The speech concludes by envisioning a future where personalized medicine, powered by our own reprogrammed cells, could eliminate the need for organ donors and revolutionize healthcare—while urging thoughtful, equitable use of this powerful science. Dr. Sharmin Haideri is a globally recognized stem cell scientist with a PhD in Regenerative Medicine from the University of Edinburgh, mentored by Sir Ian Wilmut. With over a decade of experience across the UK, Canada, and the UAE, she specializes in developing cell-based therapies for type 1 dia-betes. Currently at the Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center, she is also a passionate science communicator, published in top journals like Nature, and is exploring the role of AI in medicine through a course at Harvard. Sharmin is committed to making science accessible and inspiring the next generation to imagine a future where personalized, cell-based medicine is not science fiction but a healthcare reality.
