Join FAES for the Following Upcoming Events:
Science Insight Series: Organoids and Organotypic Slice Cultures: A New Way to Tackle Human-Specific Pathology in AD/ADRD?
November 13, 2025 from 11:45 – 1:00 pm ET (must arrive by 12PM)
Location: FAES Learning Labs Classrooms
Speaker: Elise Marsan, Ph.D., Investigator, Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias, NIA; Ph.D. from Sorbonne Universities; Neuroscientist
This talk presents human iPSC-derived multicellular organoids and organotypic slice cultures from primate brain as innovative models to study neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s and related dementias. These systems enable investigation of primate-specific neurons and circuits, revealing cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability in AD/ADRD-affected brain regions.

Science Insight Series: Antibody Engineering in Medicine: Phage Display and Nanobodies
December 4, 2025 from 11:45 – 1:00 pm ET (must arrive by 12PM)
Location: FAES Learning Labs Classrooms
Speaker: Mitchell Ho, Ph.D.
This lecture will introduce phage display technology and its application in developing nanobodies. Phage display is a high-throughput, cost-effective method for drug discovery. The Ho Lab at the NCI has constructed nanobody phage display libraries derived from sharks and camels, which possess unique features valuable for developing therapeutics to treat cancer, infectious diseases, and other human illnesses.
