Development of iPSCs: From Reprogramming to Functional Assessment

About This Webinar

iPSC Reprogramming Challenges and Solutions: Dr. Jessica Hartman will delve into the challenges associated with iPSC reprogramming, including low efficiency, pluripotency instability, and high labor intensity. Discover innovative strategies to overcome these hurdles and successfully deploy iPSCs.

Investigating Ion Channels with iPSC-Derived Neurons and Cardiomyocytes: Once reprogrammed, one of the important applications of iPSCs is to study the function and regulation of ion channels, which are a major target for therapeutic drugs. Dr. Ali Yehia, will discuss the utilization of iPSC-derived neurons and cardiomyocytes to investigate the expression, modulation, and mutation of ion channels across different cell types and disease models.

Key Takeaways:

  • Discover different reprogramming methods for iPSCs
  • Learn how to improve results when reprogramming into iPSCs
  • Investigate how ion channels are expressed, modulated and mutated in different cell types
  • Explore iPSCs as a viable alternative to animal models for studying ion channel disorders.

This webinar concludes with an engaging Q&A session.
