Organoids: modelling organ development and disease in 3D
Meritxell Huch, Karl R. Koehler, Madeline Lancaster, Esther Schnapp
Description OverviewSpeakersProgrammeIndustry workshopsEMBO trainingPractical informationSponsorsAboutMedia kit Overview This conference will take place at EMBL Heidelberg with the option to attend virtually Symposium overview The ability to grow tissues from stem cells in 3D culture to generate so called organoids has revolutionised the study of tissue biology especially human biology This exciting technology has great potential for drug discovery and regenerative medicine Because organoids model a variety of tissues with remarkably high fidelity they allow for new discoveries in human development homeostasis regeneration and disease This symposium will bring together the leading researchers in this field representing the premier conference for this research community and providing a much anticipated program that demonstrates how this field is truly pushing the boundaries for our understanding of tissue biology This the fifth edition of this established meeting will again bring together researchers from different fields to enhance our understanding of how organoids can be formed and maintained and their biomedical applications from how they can be exploited to study disease to eventually use them to regenerate and replace human tissues An aim for the 2025 edition of the symposium is the incorporation of more complementary technologies such as multiomics engineered embryo models and bioengineering as well as increased representation of the topic of cancer Session topics Concepts from development Building organoid complexity I Building organoid complexity II Organoids in regenerative medicine Organoids in disease modeling Organoids and engineering What past participants say about the Symposium The EMBO EMBL Symposium Organoids Modelling organ development and disease in 3D culture was a fantastic opportunity to network with researchers from around the world to learn about new techniques and the latest exciting research Especially the top class line up of invited and keynote speakers left an impression I am looking forward to the program of the next symposium Rhena Klar University Medical Center Freiburg German Cancer Consortium DKTK Partner Site Freiburg Germany At the EESOrgan Symposium it was all about diving deep into organoid breakthroughs sharing insights and getting inspired by leading voices in the field Between the thought provoking talks interactive poster sessions and that memorable party this event is a must for everyone passionate about organoid research Branka Radic Sarikas St Anna Children s Cancer Research Institute and
