Brain Organoids: Unlocking Mysteries of Neuroscience
In this episode, we’re diving into a fascinating intersection of cutting-edge science and data innovation. As technology continues to evolve, researchers are increasingly turning to brain organoids, (miniature, lab-grown models of the human brain) to unravel some of the most complex mysteries of neuroscience. We’re joined by three brain organoid experts: Thomas Hartung, Professor of Environmental Health and Engineering at John’s Hopkins University; Jack Van Horn, Professor of Data Science and Psychology at the University of Virginia; and Lulu Jiang, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, also at the University of Virginia. Together, they’ll shed light on how brain organoid technology is reshaping our understanding of the brain, and how data science is playing a crucial role in unlocking its secrets.
