- Time:
The organoid field has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. The role of organoids in the field of neuroscience has been particularly exciting—accelerating new discoveries and uncovering layers of biology that were previously inaccessible through traditional cell culture or animal models. Neural organoids are opening new frontiers in understanding human brain development, disease modeling of neurological disorders including—but not limited to—psychiatric disorders, and therapeutic development. While challenges remain, many believe organoids are entering their heyday, poised to transform both basic research and translational medicine.
On this episode of GEN Live, we’ll discuss how organoids are advancing research with a particular focus on neural organoids. We’ll discuss where the field stands today, recent advances, and the challenges that need to be addressed. Experts join us to explore how organoids are aiding the development of new therapeutics and paving the way toward the long-term goals of precision medicine and cell and tissue-replacement therapies.
A live Q&A session will follow the presentations, offering you a chance to pose questions to our expert panelists.
