Uncovering and Restoring Mechanisms of Human Cortical Assembly in Health and Disease:
Seminar with Fikri Birey.
Fikri is a pioneer in the development of human neural organoids and is renowned for developing the human forebrain assembloid model during his postdoc in the Pasça lab. He has notably used this model to uncover disease mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders associated with epilepsy such as Timothy Syndrome. He now heads his own lab at Emory University.
