Animal Free Labcast #33 - Professor Jens Schwamborn – Parkinson’s & Precision Medicine
This week, Carla Owen and Dr Gemma Davies speak with Professor Jens Schwamborn about using midbrain organoids, 3D human brain models, to study Parkinson’s without animal testing. With Parkinson’s cases rising and current treatments limited, Jens explains how these models offer a more accurate and ethical alternative to animal research, paving the way for personalised, human-specific medicine. Poll of the Week: Do you think companies like Neuralink should stop testing brain devices on monkeys ...
