Optimizing Organoid Culture for Development and Disease Modeling

This webinar will be hosted live and readily available on-demandWednesday, May 29, 20242:30 -3:30 PM ET Three-dimensional cell culture designs consisting of organoids make it possible for scientists to recapitulate complicated biological processes and tissue qualities in a controllable in vitro setting. However, developing top quality organoid designs presents scientists with special challenges. In this Technique Talk gave you by Sartorius, Aitor Aguirre will discuss how his group produces heart organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) and utilizes these 3D cell designs to study human heart development and disease.Learning ObjectivesGrowing and plating iPSC in 3D for heart organoid developmentUnderstanding the steps of cardiac mesoderm and proepicardial induction Long term organoid culture and maturation Using heart organoids for illness modelingAitor Aguirre, PhDAssociate ProfessorInstitute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering Department of Biomedical EngineeringMichigan State UniversitySponsored by
