Take a look at our first batch of human cerebellar #organoids! 🧠 🧫 Aren't they beautiful.
Collab between our lab + Liliana Attisano at U Toronto. Nice work Maria Mangos and Nishka Kishore from Pai Lab! Thank you Alex Atamian and @giorgiaquadrato.bsky.social group for guidance. #brainorganoids

Back from an exciting few days at the #CSHL2024Brain meeting - current tech + potential for basic + translational applications is incredible. Great to share our ongoing 'omics work in pediatric hindbrain dev + medulloblastoma. Looking forward to validating biomarkers with Hs cerebellar organoids.
