Human iPSC Platforms for 2D and 3D Disease Modeling: Brain Disorders and Beyond
Get hands on experience in handling induced pluripotent stem and differentiating these
into neural and glial cells. Learn how to repair or knock in single nucleotides using
CRISPR-Cas9 in practice and theory and gain experience with growing 3D retinal
organoids.
On top of the practical skills, you will learn the theoretical background and have keynote
lectures by experts in the field.
