Stem cells provide new opportunities for in vitro modeling and screening in a physiologically relevant environment that is consistent and replicable. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), in particular, present a unique approach for modeling human physiology and disease and understanding the mechanism of action of a drug and its efficacy and safety. However, technical challenges remain to be overcome in culturing and maintaining iPSCs and people remain skeptical about the relevance and validity of the results obtained. Our panel of experts will share their perspectives on the pros and cons of using iPSCs for research and attendees can interact with the panel during the live webinar by asking questions and sharing their concerns.
