Nina Tandon: Could tissue engineering mean personalized medicine?

The video discusses the potential of tissue engineering in revolutionizing drug screening and personalized medicine. It highlights the limitations of current drug testing methods, such as reliance on animal models, and introduces induced pluripotent stem cells as a solution. These cells can be used to create human tissue models that better mimic human biology and diversity. The video also explores the use of these models in disease research and personalized cancer treatments, emphasizing the potential to speed up drug discovery and reduce costs.
