Rohan Kulkarni, Ph.D., has been named the recipient of the 2019 STEM CELLS Young Investigator Award (YIA). The YIA, which carries a $10,000 (USD) prize, is awarded annually to a young scientist whose paper is judged to be of worldwide significance by a global jury. Dr. Kulkarni's selection was a result of his groundbreaking work, published in the March 2018 issue of STEM CELLS, showing that young mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) can rejuvenate aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) via an intercellular transfer of microvesicles (MVs) harboring autophagy-inducing mRNAs.
