LIVE WORKSHOP

Simplifying hiPSC-based disease modeling

June 15-16, 2021 @ 6:00 AM PST | 3:00 PM CEST - 8:10 AM PST | 5:10 PM CEST

That's Good Science!
Dear Researcher,

Takara Bio is proud to be partnering with the London Stem Cell Network (LSCN) to present our first Virtual Workshop on “Simplifying hiPSC-based disease modeling”. The combination of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and precise, footprint-free gene editing using CRISPR/Cas9 allows for the generation of disease models essential for advancing our understanding of disease mechanisms and the development of novel therapeutics. However, creating these models can be extremely challenging, as successful gene editing and concurrent establishment of clonal populations can be both inefficient and time consuming.

Please join us for this exciting 2-day virtual event, on 15th & 16th June 2021, to learn more from a number of leading experts on recent advances in this field, to help you optimize and speed up your hiPSC-based disease modeling projects. We look forward to welcoming you!
