Brain Organoids for Drug Discovery of Mitochondrial Neurological Disorders
Alessandro Prigione, Heinrich Heine University, Germany
Summary
Brain organoids are three dimensional structures that can be generated from pluripotent stem cells to model human neurodevelopemt.
In this talk, Prof. Prigione will describe how we can harness brain organoids to identify molecular targets and possible disease-modifying interventions for currently incurable mitochondrial and neurological diseases such as Huntington´s disease and Leigh syndrome.
