Neural cells differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provide researchers with the opportunity to study processes that otherwise lack physiologically relevant models. Additionally, high-throughput phenotypic screening of hiPSC-derived cells reduces the need for pre-clinical screening and improve drug discovery and development. In this webinar brought to you by BrainXell, Bryan Black and Lucas Thal will discuss their work screening hiPSC-derived neurons and microglia and the benefits of modeling the central nervous system with hiPSCs.
