Functional Characterization of iPSC-Derived Neurons and Glial Cells Using MEA and Calcium Flux Technologies

DateSeptember 2, 2026Time11:00 AM (EST)SpeakerDaria KurganovaFocusMEA + Calcium Imaging

In this webinar, Daria Kurganova will discuss how MEA and calcium flux assays can be applied to functionally characterize iPSC-derived neurons and glial cells. The presentation will highlight how these platforms capture electrophysiological activity and calcium signaling dynamics, providing a robust framework for evaluating cell maturation, network function, and disease-relevant phenotypes in vitro.
