Human Model Hub
The Human Model hub offers access to human cell and tissue engineering technologies to investigate new disease mechanisms and markers and probe their translatability.
The Hub supports SyNergy members with the experimental planning – e.g., identification of the ideal model system, key experiments to be performed, selection of appropriate analysis techniques – of CRISPR engineering of human iPSCs, differentiation of human iPSC-derived brain cells in 2D, generating organoids and other 3D models, and in vivo transplantation of human cells and tissues. It also advises on ethical approval for MTAs for hiPSCs.
