3D Retinal Organoid Model Development Service

At Creative Biolabs, we have successfully created a retinal platform that offers retinal organoids and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) derived from iPSCs obtained from the same donor. Our models are developed using ethically sourced samples from both healthy donors and patients. This innovative platform provides researchers with a powerful tool for studying various aspects of retinal biology and advancing the understanding of neurological diseases.

Neurological Disease-based Retinal Organoid Modeling

Neurological diseases affecting the retina, such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Our advanced retinal organoid models can be specifically designed to recapitulate the pathogenesis of these diseases. By utilizing iPSC technology, Creative Biolabs has the capability to generate iPSC-derived retinal organoids and RPE from samples provided by patients. This allows for the development of personalized models that accurately represent the diseases being studied.

Specifically, we can generate the patient-specific models for the diseases list below.

• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): Wet AMD, Dry AMD
• Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRD)
• Retinitis pigmentosa (RP)
• Retinal vein occlusion (RVO)
• Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA)
• Stargardt disease,
• Usher's syndrome

Gene Editing for iPSC-derived Retinal Organoid

At Creative Biolabs, we leverage powerful gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce precise genetic modifications into iPSCs derived from patients with retinal diseases. By targeting disease-causing mutations or genetic risk factors, we can generate iPSC lines with specific genetic alterations, which are then differentiated into retinal organoids.

Our iPSC-derived organoids have been used to model the effect of the following dominant mutations in retinal diseases.

Retinal Organoid Characterization

Accurate characterization of retinal organoids is crucial for their utility in research and drug discovery. Our comprehensive characterization service encompasses a wide range of assessments to ensure the fidelity and functionality of the model system.
