FREE Symposium
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
1:00 - 4:00 PM, Eastern Time
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.
