Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have been globally recognized as a multipurpose research tool for modeling human disease and biology, screening and developing potential therapeutic drugs, and implementing cell and gene therapies. The ability to differentiate human iPSCs into any cell type supports the study of biology and disease in these specified cells in vitro.

In the first half of this 2-part webinar, Prof. Dr. Werner Mäntele will introduce the fundamental aspects of protein structure-function correlation and protein analysis by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. He will discuss examples of different proteins and their implications in detail, as well as the use of FTIR spectroscopy in various biomedical applications.

To gain insight into the immense complexity of biological structures such as the brain, it is imperative that investigators take an integrative approach that employs multi-omic technology and data. For instance, a complex neurological structure like the pituitary, which is considered the “master gland” of the endocrine system, regulates vital physiological functions, including growth, sexual maturation, reproduction, and lactation. A detailed characterization of pituitary cell populations and their underlying gene regulatory programs is needed to better understand cellular functions in this structurally complex tissue—just the right spot for some cutting-edge multi-omic studies.
