The major goal of my research project is to develop a microscale high-throughput culture system that mimics the 3D cellular microenvironment unveiling the interactions between cells and soluble/immobilized factors. This platform will be used to identify the sole and/or synergistic effects of soluble and immobilized molecules towards expansion and differentiation of hPSC. Additionally, it is intended to provide a platform to perform high-throughput studies on the toxicity of small molecules towards differentiated progeny and evaluate different cellular sensitivities to pharmaceuticals according to patient specificity.
