Event Overview

Stem cells are valuable for neurological disease research and drug development as they permit the in vitro construction of disease models. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and human embryonic stem cells (ESCs), offer unique advantages for developmental studies. They can be employed in a patient-specific way to identify molecular lesions and aid in therapeutic development. To examine the potential of stem cells for in vitro modeling of neurological disease, The Scientist is bringing together a panel of experts to discuss their research and provide insight into these exciting techniques.

Topics to be Covered
  • Investigating the dynamic nature of the brain in the context of disease and injury using stem cell biology
  • Neurological disease modeling with induced pluripotent stem cells
