About this Event
One of the biggest challenges facing scientists today is the need for in vitro cell models that accurately represent the complexity of human physiology and diseases. In this workshop, you will hear from different experts as they share their practical experiences in building relevant models of different human diseases. We will also explore innovative approaches used to replicate complex cell interactions and investigate disease phenotypes in vitro.
You will have the opportunity to engage in an interactive roundtable discussion with our invited speakers as well as experts from STEMCELL Technologies to learn more about the implementation of human stem cell-derived human disease models, unique methods for tackling reproducibility, and promising stem cell technologies on the horizon.
In addition, there will be several opportunities to network with scientists working in academia and industry over tea, coffee, pastries and at the drinks reception.
We are proud of our invited speakers:
- Prof Dean Nizetic, Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University, London
- Dr Sandra Castro, Research Fellow at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health
- Dr Isabelle Hautefort, Senior Researcher in the Imperial Organoid Facility
- Ben Clarke, Postdoctoral Project Research Scientist, Human Stem Cells and Neurodegeneration Laboratory at The Francis Crick Insitute
- Georgios Stroulios, Scientist at STEMCELL Technologies
The final agenda will be available shortly.
The workshop will take place at the Zayed Centre for Research (ZCR, 20c Guilford street, London WC1N 1DZ) on the 26th of October from 13:00 until 19:00 (in person only).
