This episode is with Dr. Sergiu Pașca, MD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University. They dive into the biology and genetics of autism, why diagnoses are on the rise, and exciting new ways stem cells are being used to understand and treat profound autism and other brain disorders. Dr. Pașca breaks down “organoids and assembloids,” human stem cell based tools he developed to study and potentially cure complex brain diseases. They also talk about the ethical ...| Podcast Notes
