MSc by Research: Characterisation of human induced pluripotent stem cell derived kidney organoid system for use in drug discovery

University of Dundee
Faculty of Life Sciences
Only 5% of all drugs tested in animal models are approved for human applications. Most of these failures are due to unexpected toxicity or lack of efficacy. The poor translation from small mammal studies to humans often causes this challenge. Read more
