Treating neurological and neurodegenerative disorders remains challenging. One major reason for this is a relative scarcity in disease models available to researchers. The advent of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) gave scientists access to a potentially unlimited supply of neurons and other brain cells for disease research. However, the question remains: how closely do these iPSC-derived disease models mimic in vivo pathology?

In this webinar, brought to you by FUJIFILM Biosciences, Jesús Tintos-Hernandez, Setsu Endoh-Yamagami, and Amaris Castañon discuss the latest advances and innovations in neuroscience disease modeling. 

Topics to be covered

• How disease modeling is helping in neuroscience research and drug development
• Technical advancements in disease modeling
• Various perspectives on aging, 2D and 3D cultures, and animal versus human models
