The goal of this project is to develop a three-dimensional cell culture system for growing cerebral organoids (sometimes referred to as \u201cmini-brains\u201d) from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The long-term goal is to use this culture system to study molecular and cellular pathophysiology underlying autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders, with the hope of identifying novel targets for therapeutic intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations, Dr. Yeh! <a href=\"http:\/\/ibacs.uconn.edu\/research\/\">See the full listing of the 2017 IBACS awardees.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mason Yeh, postdoctoral fellow in Eric Levine&#8217;s laboratory, was awarded\u00a0a seed grant from\u00a0IBACS, the Connecticut Institute for the Brain and Cognitive Sciences, for a project, entitled &#8220;Development of a 3D culture model of human cortical development&#8221;.
