NeuroSociety Stories welcomes guest Sergiu Pasca, MD, for a conversation about his pioneering work using human stem cells to create neural organoids and assembloids (lab-grown models that recreate key aspects of the human brain) for studying brain development and psychiatric disorders. Sergiu highlights the promise of these models for therapeutics while also addressing the ethical considerations, responsible research practices, and the importance of collaboration among scientists, ethicists, patient families, and the broader public.
