This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $769,352 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to develop an engineered bioprinting platform for studying neural migration in brain assembloids.

The key objectives are to: 1) Improve the size and organizational reproducibility of brain organoids from distinct brain regions, 2) Use the bioprinting technology to precisely position organoids in three-part brain assembloids to study interneuron migration, and 3) Leverage the three-part assembloids to investigate the effects of neurological disorder-related genes on interneuron migration. This transformative research aims to create an advanced platform for constructing complex brain assembloids to enable unprecedented studies of human brain development and neurological diseases.
