Establishing a gastruloid-based 3D model of human heart development to provide novel insights into congenital heart defects.
EF 2022-23
Résumé
My thesis project aims to use gastruloids, an human pluripotent stem cell model that recapitulates aspects of gastrulation and early organogenesis, to model human heart development and gain novel insights into the pathophysiology of congenital heart defects. The ICRH promotes research into the causes and mechanisms of conditions associated with the heart. This project aims to find disease mechanisms and etiologies of congenital heart defects, the most common birth defect that affect 1 in 100 births, by recapitulating human heart development in vitro.
