This international meeting features some of the world's most accomplished neuroscientists discussing how we can study and model the human brain in its most intrinsic details, with the goal of accelerating clinical translation in neurology and psychiatry.

The event will include two days of curated talks and a one-day workshop to learn hands-on tricks for generating and analysing human brain tissue in vitro, including advanced electrophysiology and drug screens of neural organoid and 2D/3D bioprinted tissue.

Free registration to the symposium and workshop is available, but spots are limited.

Early bird and student discounts available for social event (drinks and food included).

Register now to save a spot at a discounted rate. Limited spots available.

Abstract submission is open.

The scientific symposium will include:

• >10 special lectures from international leaders in human models for neurobiological research

• Thematic sessions covering:

  • Current strategies and protocols for cell-based 2D and 3D models of complex human neural tissues

  • Cutting-edge analytical methods (bioinformatics, drug screens, electrophysiology, imaging and genomics)

  • iPSC models of brain disorders, neurodegeneration and neurodevelopmental diseases.

  • Neural aging models in vitro.

• Panel discussions on clinical translation, the latest innovative biotechnologies, and future directions.

• Lightning talks and poster sessions from emerging researchers. Submit an abstract here.

• Social event. Register here

BRAIN ORGANOID THERAPEUTICS WORKSHOP

The third day will feature a workshop in the Bardy lab, located at SAHMRI, led by international experts showcasing biotechnologies and analytical methods for growing brain organoids, 3D bioprinting neural tissues, drug screens, and advanced electrophysiological assays. More details to come soon. Limited spots available, register your interest to stay in the loop.
