Madeline Lancaster on Brain Organoids: Modeling Human Brain Development in a Dish
In this webinar, Dr. Madeline Lancaster, who has done groundbreaking work in the development of cerebral organoid technology, discusses the latest developments in cerebral organoids and provides a comparison of different 3D model systems being used for neurological research.
Research in the Lancaster lab focuses on human brain development using cerebral organoids, a new in vitro model system for neurological development and disease research. The laboratory uses these ‘mini-brains’ to study the most fundamental differences between human and other mammalian species’ brain development - essentially, what makes us human. The lab is also studying cellular mechanisms of, and potential therapeutic avenues for, neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and intellectual disability.
This webinar is just one of the educational resources on neural organoids that we’ve developed to help you navigate this exciting field. Visit the Neural Organoid Information Hub to learn more.
