Webinar: Brain Organoid Models for Childhood Dementia

Understanding the mechanisms of childhood dementia conditions and developing effective treatments for them requires model systems for one of the most complex organs: the brain. Innovative solutions that could recapitulate the cellular diversity of the brain include the use of brain organoids. This webinar discussed the different types of organoid models and the applications of brain organoids to study conditions that cause childhood dementia and to develop novel treatment options for them.
Speakers:
Stephen Damiani OAM (Parent and President of Mission Massimo Foundation)
Dr. Fiona Bright (Postdoctoral Fellow, Macquarie University)
Dr. Wendy Gold (Associate Professor, University of Sydney)
Dr. Brett Kagan (Chief Scientific Officer, Cortical Labs)
