Researchers working with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) gain an unprecedented understanding of human biology and disease. Experiments with iPSCs are especially illuminating in studies of the brain, where they provide scientists access to this intractable region so that they can model and develop therapies for psychiatric disorders, neurodegeneration, brain development, and infectious diseases.
In this virtual symposium brought to you by The Scientist, a panel of experts will present how they model a variety of neurological disorders with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in 2D and 3D cell culture.
1:30 PM – Integrating patient-specific human iPSCs with CRISPR engineering to model genetic predisposition to psychiatric disorders Kristen Brennand, PhD
1:50 PM – Defining the temporal changes associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with iPSC organoids Sally Temple, PhD
