Re-Creating Disease with Kidney Organoids and CRISPR
In this webinar, Dr. Benjamin Freedman from the University of Washington provides an overview of re-creating disease using kidney organoids and CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. As a postdoctoral fellow in the Renal Division at Brigham and Women’s Hospital at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Freedman was responsible for several innovative techniques that he describes in this webinar, including differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into kidney organoids containing nephron-like segments and generating knockout mutations in organoids with CRISPR.
Scaling Biomimetic Culture of Pluripotent Stem Cells
Hear from Dr. Maxime Feyeux, who discusses what the in vivo growth environment of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can teach us about in vitro culture. He summarizes some of the current challenges facing standard PSC culture technologies and shares a solution for mass producing high-quality PSCs for downstream applications.
