Please join us this Wednesday at World Organoid Research Day as our Hub Manager, Alexia King, will be giving an introduction to the Brain Organoid Hub and providing details on how you can get involved! Register here for free access: organoidspheroid.com

So happy to see this study out in Nature Neuroscience! Fun collaboration with amazing Nicholas Thom

Is it really necessary to feed your cortical or subpallial organoids every weekend? The answer to that question, including our new "recipes & protocols" section, can be found on our website! brainorganoidhub.com/blog-post-2

Congrats to the Birey Lab! We're all super excited to see the impactful work that will come from this project.

The Andersen lab and Emory Brain Organoid Hub are looking for a motivated Research Specialist to contribute to a project generating and characterizing region-specific organoids and assembloids derived from ALS and control hiPSCs. Join us! social.icims.com/viewjob/pt1711…

We're just one week away from the Brain Organoid Workshop application deadline (April 15th)! Please make sure to submit your application at brainorganoidhub.com/workshop. We can't wait to meet this year's workshop trainees! 🔬

We have a question for our organoid community: What do you consider a biological replicate in your experiments? A) Organoids from different hiPSC lines B) Organoids from the same hiPSC lines and the same batch C) Organoids from the same line but different batches D) Other

Our inaugural Emory Brain Organoid Hub Workshop is underway! We have 10 participants visiting us from as far away as Japan and Australia.🌏 This immersive, hands on workshop is focused on iPSC-derived organoid cultures. What would you want to learn? 🧠

The Emory Brain Organoid Workshop is grateful for support from one of our favorite companies STEMCELL Technologies! Thank you, Will and Tom, for invaluable discussions about iPSC culture, quality control, and best practices! 🧫📈

Day 2 of the Emory Brain Organoid Hub workshop was super exciting--participants aggregated iPSCs to form embryoid bodies, recorded MEA experiments, and stained their first neuroepithelial rosettes!!! Today we're immunopanning and blowing out the embryoid bodies.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsor Celvivo for supporting the Emory Brain Organoid Workshop! We are grateful to Dr. Reeham Motaher for speaking at our lunch and learn yesterday.

Thank you Parse Biosciences for sponsoring the Emory Brain Organoid Workshop. We really appreciate the insights on combinatorial barcoding and single cell sequencing shared by Mia and Colleen! 🧬🦠

On Day 3 of the workshop we learned about iPSC/organoid QC, assembloids, transcriptomics and genomics! In the lab, we dislodged D0 embryoid bodies and immunopanned for neurons and astrocytes from D200 cortical organoids!

All smiles today when we imaged the Emory Brain Organoid workshop IHC slides! The rosettes were stunning!!!

Emory Brain Organoid Workshop Day 4: We learned about genome engineering from Nuri Smith (she/her) and then imaged organoid IHC slides. Check out this beautiful rosette stain by Huinan (Marcus) Li!

On the last day of the workshop, Steven Sloan and Fikri Birey discussed best practices and special considerations for designing experiments using brain organoids.

It was so fun to see these talented scientists work hard to master iPSC/organoid techniques in record time! We are so proud of our first workshop cohort and can't wait to see how they incorporate organoids into their science. Sincerest thank you from all of us. 🫶

We're excited to announce that the Brain Organoid Hub is hiring! If you, or someone you know, has an interest in working with stem cells and brain organoids as a Research Specialist, please feel free to apply 🔬linkedin.com/jobs/view/4126…
