MaxWell Biosystems at Development and 3D Modeling of the Human Brain 2024
We are delighted to be attending the Development and 3D Modeling of the Human Brain meeting in New York from Monday 9 – Thursday 12 December. As part of our sponsorship of this event we will be hosting an Interactive Workshop on Wednesday December 11. Register to attend this exciting live workshop.*
*The workshop is only available for those attending the Development and 3D Modeling of the Human Brain meeting.


Interactive Workshop:
Title: Unlocking the Potential of Neural Organoids: A Hands-on Workshop with MaxWell Biosystems’ HD-MEA Technology
When: Wednesday, December 11th, 2024 | Following the morning session
Where: Clarkson Dining Room (lower level of Blackford Hall)
Extra Information: Lunch will be provided during the workshop
About our workshop:
Neural organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (h-iPSCs) are rapidly emerging aspromising tools for the investigation of developmental and disease progression. Organoids and 3D models allow for rapid, non-invasive, patient-tailored, and cost-effective drug screenings and disease modelling. Increasingly, assessing the cell type composition, gene expression patterns and physiological function in different types of neural organoids demands new technologies for characterization.
The electrical activity of neurons can now be easily captured, label-free, with MaxWell Biosystems’ High-Density Microelectrode Array (HD-MEA) technology. This technology powers both the MaxOne (single-well) and MaxTwo (multi-well) HD-MEA Systems, enabling to observe, record, and analyze electrophysiological properties of electrogenic samples at network, single-cell, and sub-cellular levels at high-resolution. The MaxWell Biosystems’ HD-MEA Systems have been shown to provide high-quality, robust, and reproducible data in scientific publications across different applications.
In this workshop, the speakers will:
- Guide the participants on a step-by-step walkthrough for organoid plating on the HD-MEA chip
- Showcase high-resolution functional imaging of organoids on MaxWell Biosystems’ HD-MEA platform
- Present results and analysis from organoids modeling different brain compartments
- Demonstrate the advantages of HD-MEA technology for characterizing the physiological function of human brain organoids and for testing compounds
The speakers will showcase how to use MaxWell Biosystems’ HD-MEA technology to capture and monitor the electrophysiological properties of brain organoids. This includes a practical demonstration of plating organoids on the HD-MEA chip, followed by showcasing datasets and analyzed results of pre-recorded organoids data. By the end of the workshop, the attendees will learn how to obtain high-quality organoid data and characterize the function of their different samples using the MaxWell Biosystems’ HD MEA technology.
