Although human retinal organoids require 30 weeks to mature, we have established methods to use them for high-content screening of adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV). Our goal is to identify regulatory elements that lead to AAV-driven gene expression exclusively in specific cell types of the human retina. Cell type-specific gene expression is important to minimize toxicity caused by off-target expression of gene therapy vectors. Furthermore, cell type-specific transgene expression provides access to specific cells for basic research in various model systems. Beyond the retina, the methods we have developed are broadly applicable across the entire field of organoid research: We use cost-effective laboratory automation for high-throughput organoid generation, maintenance, and screening, and have increased the throughput of organoid cryosectioning and histology with the HistoBrick array format.     <\/p>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Emilie Mac\u00e9 will receive the speaker.
