Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have revolutionized neural research by offering a versatile model to study neurological disorders, neural development, and regenerative therapies.

In this webinar, Dr. Dan Cortes, Head of iPSC & Cell Culture at HHMI, will delve into the intricacies of differentiating iPSCs into neural cell types and brain/cerebral organoids. Building upon the foundational knowledge of Best Practices for iPSC culture and differentiation, this talk provides advanced techniques and troubleshooting strategies specific to neural lineages.

Attendees can expect to learn:

• Tips on overcoming batch to batch variability in the differentiation of brain/cerebral organoids
• High-throughput screening of stem cell-derived 2D cultures and brain/cerebral organoids
• High quality electrophysiological recordings and calcium imaging in both neurons and organoids
