Human stem cell models of neurodegeneration: complex, relevant and robust
How we can make 3D models more reproducible
Reproducible research using stem cell derived neurons and organoids
Inclusive Basic Research
Methodology for understanding the basic phenomena of life can be done in vitro or in vivo, under tightly-controlled experimental conditions designed to limit variability. However stringent the protocol, these experiments do not occur in a cultural vacuum and they are often subject to the same societal biases as other research disciplines. Many researchers uphold the status quo of biased basic research by not questioning the characteristics of their experimental animals, or the people from whom their tissue samples were collected. This means that our fundamental understanding of life has been built on biased models. This session will explore the ways in which basic life sciences research can be biased and the implications of this. We will discuss practical ways to assess your research design and how to make sure it is representative.
Functional characterization of human iPSC-derived neurons at single-cell resolution
Recent developments in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology have enabled easier access to human cells in vitro. With increasing availability of human iPSC-derived neurons, both healthy and disease cell lines, screening compounds for neurodegenerative diseases on human cells can potentially be performed in the earlier stages of drug discovery. To accelerate the functional characterization of iPSC-derived neurons and the effect of compounds, reproducible and relevant results are necessary. In this webinar, the speakers will: Introduce high-resolution functional imaging of human iPSC-derived neurons Showcase how to extract functional features of hundreds of cells in a cell culture sample label-free Discuss electrophysiological parameters for characterizing the differences among several human neuronal cell lines
