Vortrag auf Englisch- Using brain organoids to study development and disease

Vortrag findet auf Englisch statt. Understanding how the human brain functions in health and disease is one of the greatest challenges in science – not only because the subject is so complex, but also because human samples are rare due to ethical restrictions. Instead, scientists use three-dimensional human brain organoids as a novel model system to analyze healthy brain development and how it goes awry, causing brain diseases. In her talk, Agnieszka Rybak-Wolf will present what brain organoids are, how we can generate them, and how they can be applied to study human diseases.
