Application of human-derived samples in preclinicalresearch

Abstract

Human-derived experimental materials are valuable in drug discovery research. Inparticular, patient-derived samples such as blood samples and iPS cells arethought to have a genetic predisposition to cause disease and, at least in part,some disease characteristics and are expected to be applied for elucidating theetiology and drug discovery research. In this session, examples of utilizationof human-derived samples in preclinical neuroscience research in our companieswill be introduced.
