Paola Arlotta

Paola Arlotta is the Golub Family Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University and chair of the Harvard Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology (HSCRB). Her research focuses on the development of neuron types in the cerebral cortex. She is best known for her work using 3D cerebral organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to study cortical development in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Across 1 conversation, Paola Arlotta ranges across ethics in science, stem cells, organoids. Human brain development takes 9 months in utero and 20 years postnatally, compared to 20 days for mice. Brain organoids, derived from stem cells, mimic aspects of human brain development, aiding in neurodevelopmental disease research.
