Studying Organ Development and Disease Using Organoids

 LIVE Symposium

Thursday, October 31, 2024
11:00 AM-2:00 PM ET

3D cell culture provides researchers with an unprecedented view of human tissue and organ development, reliably mimicking the intricacy and functionality at cellular and tissue levels. To better understand development, disease, and therapeutic responses, researchers interrogate cellular interactions and molecular activity in organoids.

In this symposium brought to you by The Scientist, Mattia Gerli, Angels Almenar, In-Hyun Park, and Andris Abramenkovs will explore the vast potential of organoid research for understanding development, disease, and treatment response.
