Webinar: Improving the Physiological Relevance of Human Brain Organoids

Human brain organoids are transforming the study of human brain development and neurodevelopmental disease. However, researchers still face key challenges in generating reproducible, region-specific models that more accurately reflect the physiological complexity of the human brain.

Join Creative Biolabs for an expert-led webinar featuring Giorgia Quadrato, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Southern California and Director of the USC CIRM ASCEND Shared Resource Laboratory.

In this webinar, Dr. Quadrato will discuss how to improve the physiological relevance of human brain organoids through reproducible region-specific model generation, integration of bioengineering tools, and investigation of cell-type-specific mechanisms in developmental disease.

Why Attend?

Human brain organoids provide a powerful platform for modeling human-specific developmental features and disease mechanisms. Yet their impact depends on how well they capture relevant cellular diversity, regional identity, tissue organization, and physiological context.

This webinar will address how advanced organoid strategies and bioengineering approaches can help improve model reproducibility and physiological relevance. Attendees will gain expert perspectives on how brain organoids can be used to investigate developmental disease mechanisms at cell-type-specific resolution and support more human-relevant 3D biology research.

During this webinar, you will gain insights into:

• How reproducible region-specific brain organoids can be generated for human developmental and disease research
• How bioengineering tools can be integrated to increase the physiological relevance of brain organoids
