An interview with James Wells


 James (Jim) Wells is a Professor in the Division of Developmental Biology at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and Chief Scientific Officer of the Center for Stem Cell & Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) at Cincinnati Children's. Using both vertebrate embryos and human organoids as model systems, Jim's research focuses on the mechanisms by which gastrointestinal and endocrine organs form. Earlier this year, Jim joined the Development team as an Academic Editor. We caught up with Jim to find out more about his research career, the stem cell and organoid fields, and why he decided to get involved with the journal.
