ABSTRACT In this webinar, Dr. Chris Denning discusses short stories around his research, particularly around the use of Cas9/CRISPR to modify the genome of hiPSC-CMs, along with applications of Agilent Seahorse XF and CardioECR to understand more about disease and variation in the human population. Cardiomyocytes derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC-CMs) provide a powerful tool for modelling impact of disease and drugs on structure and function. The presentation will also provide early data on the use of Cas9/CRISPR reporter lines to conduct large scale screens of compounds that may be useful in inducing cardiomyocyte maturation.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
  • Cas9/CRISPR is an effective approach to induce polymorphic changes in the stem cell genome,
  • Cardiomyocytes from human pluripotent stem cells can phenocopy disease states effectively, providing new routes for mechanistic understanding and drug evaluation for cardiovascular disease, as well as
  • Applications of Agilent’s Seahorse XF Analyzer and CardioECR technologies to understand more about modelling and characterizing cardiovascular disease.
