Brain in a Dish: Modelling Epileptic Encephalopathy Using Human Stem Cells
This talk will provide insights into the rationale, methodology and use of induced pluripotent stem cells to study epilepsy and develop new treatments. This exciting technology has emerged in the recent years as one of the most promising tool in disease research and we will look into the opportunities and challenges specific to the modelling of epileptic encephalopathies.
