Panel Discussion: What is the Future of Preclinical Models in Genetically Driven Renal Disorders? Elucidating Disease Mechanisms & Navigating the Translational Gap 2:00 pm
What is the best platform to mimic human physiology and tailor models with disease specific mutations? From genetically modified mice to pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids: evaluating current capabilities to investigate disease mechanisms and screen novel therapeutics Is mass production of organoids the future of predicting efficacy or an additional tool?Read more
