Title & Abstract:

“Stem Cells & Genomics for Precision Medicine”

Recent technological advancement has enabled the generation of patient-specific and disease-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs) in vitro. These iPSCs carry all the genetic information from the individuals from whom they are derived. Here I will discuss recent advances in this technology and how it may be used for elucidating mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases, for drug discovery, and for clinical trial in a dish.
