title: An interview with Doug Melton.
abstract: Doug Melton is Xander University Professor at Harvard University, co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. His lab investigates the development of the pancreas, and uses insights from this process to direct the production of insulin-producing beta cells from stem cells. We met Doug at the 2016 Society for Developmental Biology-International Society of Differentiation (SDB-ISD) joint meeting in Boston, USA, where he gave the Jean Brachet Lecture.
