Around 80% of rare conditions arise due to changes in a person's genomic makeup, which can be inherited or arise for the first time in an individual. 🧬

We’re delighted to announce a new partnership between Oxford StemTech, @KingsCollegeLon, and MaxWell Biosystems, funded by @Innosuisse.
Many patients with #epilepsy struggle with limited treatment options to manage their seizures effectively. To address this, our collaboration is focused on creating a high-throughput #drugtesting platform using physiologically relevant models.
King’s will provide access to epilepsy patients. By integrating Oxford StemTech’s ReproPlex #iPSC reprogramming technology with MaxWell Biosystems’ advanced MaxTwo HD-#MEA (High-Density Microelectrode Array) System featuring a 24-well plate format, we can simultaneously analyze multiple patient-specific brain assembloids. This approach will provide a unique platform to understand epilepsy better and test potential new treatments with precision.
We are excited to work together on this project and look forward to contributing to advancements in epilepsy research. Please refer to our website for more details 👉https://t.co/o7Hb4vJ5tv
Stay tuned for updates!

We had a brilliant time attending the mTOR Pathway Diseases node patient organisation workshop last week. Great to hear exciting updates from the #Research team and a great opportunity to connect with other patient orgs @BatemanLab@CharlotteRTye
A snippet from our day. I feel privileged to lead #PPI for the mTOR node and to learn so much from our patient organisation partners and lived experience experts- thank you for giving your time and helping our research grow. Watch this space! @KingsIoPPN

A huge thank you to @BatemanLab from King's College London, who gave a fantastic seminar on the 'Mechanistic insight into the role of mTOR signalling in rare neurological diseases' today as part of our lunchtime seminar series.
Incredibly excited to see our recent paper about the auto-regulation of #mTOR at #lysosomes featured on the cover of @MolecularCell 🤩🌍🎈 @DemetriadesLab
Huge thanks to @sahola6 for so beautifully capturing the essence of our story in her artwork😍
