Development of a suite of assays for the analysis of PWS patient iPSC-derived cortical neurons
Funded Year: 2020Dr. Bang and her team will apply a series of ‘assays’ (lab tests evaluating cell function) to PWS patient-specific stem cells (iPSC) that have been driven to become cortical neurons in a lab dish. Once validated, these assays can be used to discover novel therapeutic targets for PWS, screen for drugs that can correct impaired neuronal function,...
