At the EDDU, we are active participants in fostering and practicing open science. We work to share scientific knowledge and train the next generation of iPSC scientists, all while following the highest standards in research. We strongly believe that success comes through collaboration and working together, as a means to accelerate the development of new therapies for patients living with brain disorders. What We Do - Perform iPSC phenotyping, quality control tests, and CRISPR editing - Adapt assays with iPSC-derived cells into screenable 2D and 3D formats - Develop and characterize 3D neuronal organoid models - Develop open-access software and protocols - Provide hands-on and virtual training for working with iPSCs and iPSCs-derived neurons and glia - Create training videos on the steps involved in working with the iPSC technology Our Mission - Train the next generation of researchers to work with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) - Translate fundamental research and technology into industry-standard assays - Identify new and improved treatments for neurological disorders Our Values As a group, we are committed to the mission of McGill University and The Neuro to foster equity, diversity, and inclusion in research. We strive for a respectful and diverse working environment and welcome researchers from all backgrounds.
