[S-02] Symposium 02 Novel therapeutic approach for neurological disorders using stem cell biology and genetic modification
Wed. May 19, 2021 9:50 AM - 11:50 AM Room 05 (ICC Kyoto 2F Room B-1)
Chair:Pearson Christopher E.(The Hospital for Sick Children),Okada Yohei(Aichi Medical University, Department of Neurology)
Recent progress in stem cell biologies, iPSC technologies, and techniques for genetic modification and regulation have strong impacts on the development of novel therapeutics for intractable neurological disorders. In particular, findings in these fields raise expectations for breakthrough approaches for novel disease modifying therapies. In this symposium, four speakers will be invited to discuss novel therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders, focusing on neural regeneration by adult neurogenesis, disease modeling and drug discovery using disease specific iPSCs, and novel therapeutic gene modifications.
