iPSC-derived neuronal models in 2D and 3D

PI at Masaryk University

About

We offer a comprehensive portfolio of human iPSC-derived neuronal models in both 2D and 3D formats, including induced neurons, mixed neuronal–glial cultures, cerebral organoids, and advanced co-culture systems (e.g. neuron–glia and tumor–brain organoid models).

Our models are primarily applied to the study of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders, with a strong focus on Alzheimer’s disease, glioblastoma, and schizophrenia, as well as gene- and pathway-specific mechanisms underlying neuronal dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and treatment resistance.

Available assays and readouts include:

  • standard molecular biology assays (qPCR, WB, ELISA, FACS)

  • immunocytochemistry and histology,

  • fluorescent microscopy, high-content and live-cell imaging,

  • electron microscopy (SEM, TEM)

  • single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing,

  • proteomics and pathway analysis,

  • electrophysiology (MEA),

  • calcium imaging,

  • functional assays of trafficking, synaptic activity, and cell viability,

  • drug and inhibitor testing in 2D cultures, organoids, and tumoroids.

These platforms enable mechanistic studies, target validation, and preclinical drug testing in human-relevant neuronal systems.
