Development of a robust and scalable iPSC platform for predictions of efficacy and in vivo toxicity of RNA therapeutics early in the drug discovery pipeline​

Written by Ncardia Stem Cell Experts | January 28, 2026

This poster presents the development of a robust, automated iPSC-derived neuronal screening platform for early efficacy and neurotoxicity assessment of RNA therapeutics, designed to operate reliably at scale in discovery environments.

Download it now for a closer look at:

  • How fully automated, liquid-handling–based workflows enable reproducible ASO screening from cell seeding through RT-qPCR and functional readouts

  • Assay performance data showing low intra- and inter-plate variability below five percent, supporting reliable decision-making across screening campaigns

  • Human-relevant neurotoxicity assessment using calcium imaging and MEA to functionally discriminate between safe and toxic ASOs early in discovery

  • Why integrating automation, standardized protocols, and iPSC-derived neuronal models reduces operational risk and improves throughput consistency
