Advancements in iPSC Technology and Disease Modeling

The chapter explores the latest advancements in iPSC technology and disease modeling through an interview with Dr. Sebastian Diecke. Dr. Diecke discusses their lab's research focus on various diseases across different organ systems, the challenges faced in working with iPSCs, and the potential applications of iPSCs in conservation efforts and human reproduction. The conversation also delves into the importance of multi-organ systems in studying complex diseases and the efforts towards standardizing the programming process for downstream applications like disease modeling and drug discovery.
