Funded Projects

Modeling and Defining Personalized Therapies of Neurological Disorders Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

Grant Amount: NIS 2.8 million

About the Project

The researchers are developing two-dimensional (neuronal differentiation) and three-dimensional (generation of mini-brain organoids) models for neurological diseases using human pluripotent stem cells. These models will be used for genetic screens and for identifying relevant drugs.
