Description of the research topic:
By using three dimensional cell culture organoid models in modern in vitro neuroscience, we can perform cutting-edge experiments to investigate development, pathologies and cell-cell interactions. During our experiments we plan to integrate brain organoids in an already tested and published lab-on-a-chip device (Walter et al., 2016) and also in novel micro- and bio-electronic models. The goal is to study cellular interactions between the members of the neurovascular unit and brain organoids derived from healthy and diseased tissues from people with dementia. These findings will lead to the deeper understanding of neurodegenerative diseases mechanisms.
