Episode 12: The Future of Neurodegenerative Disease Research

In the third episode in this series, Dr. Birgitt Schuele shares her insights on the current state and future directions of this field, from diagnosis and care to mechanisms and treatments. She also tells us about her own work on using machine learning to study mouse behavior in the dark, and creating 3D organ models from stem cells to simulate drug responses. She explains how these technologies can help us understand our own biology better, and reduce the need for animal models and human trials. She also discusses the challenges and limitations of creating a simulated human that can capture the complexity and diversity of individual biology.
