Download: Harvard Stem Cell Institute presentation on #StemCells and neurodegenerative disorders
Lee Rubin, Principal Investigator and Director of Translational Medicine at Harvard Stem Cell Institute, presented at last year’s Stem Cells USA & Regenerative Medicine Congress on the topic, ‘Using stem cell-based screens to model neurodegenerative disorders.’
Download the presentation slides here.
In the presentation, Lee gives an overview on:
- Using stem cell-based screens to study the biology of orphan nervous system disorders and identify therapeutic targets
- How to address diseases without a strong genetic component
- How to address genetic variability
- Implications for the pharmaceutical industry: how does iPS disease modeling hold the potential to drastically improve drug pipelines for neurodegenerative diseases?
