Conference - Suzhou, China
Recent developments in stem cell biology and cellular reprogramming have catalyzed unprecedented advances in disease modeling and drug discovery.The ability to derive distinct human cell types is enabling innovative approaches to create in vitro disease models and to develop new strategies for the identification and testing of novel therapeutics. The meeting will provide an opportunity to share new ideas and information about the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), reprogramming in human oocytes using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), the derivation and analysis of diverse human cell types, and the development of disease-in-a-dish models as well as animal models.
Topics:
Cardiac disease modeling and drug discovery
Modeling psychiatric disorders using animal models
Modeling neurodevelopmental diseases using iPSCs
Dissecting neurodegenerative diseases using stem cells
Drug discovery using disease models
Cellular reprogramming
Clinical applications of disease models
Translating discovery to the clinics
