Organoids and human cells structuring project
Objective:
Differentiation of human iPSC cells allows the study of cellular processes or genes specific to humans. This approach complements animal studies and reduces their use. It also provides access to pathological tissues to study the etiology of diseases and to test therapeutic approaches in preclinical human models. Finally, this method allows to address aspects of multigenic diseases that are difficult to model in animals, such as certain psychiatric diseases. The goal of this initiative is to develop a regional platform to promote academic and industrial access to human in vitro models, in particular to organoids of different regions of the nervous system for basic and preclinical studies.
