ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

10 years of breakthroughs in Organoid Technology: from adult stem cell discovery to changing patients’ lives 
 

In this webinar Rob Vries, CEO of HUB Organoids will review the history of organoid technology, from the initial organoid models derived from of adult stem cells of the intestine to the most recent technological advances that have facilitated the development of reproducible and robust organoids. These developments have opened up these models to applications such as drug screening, personalized medicine, and tissue regeneration.

What will you learn?

  • How the discovery of LGR5+ stem cells in the intestine led to the development of the first mini gut in a dish

  • How stem-cell research has resulted in a variety of biobanks from both normal and disease tissue

  • How the standardization of patient-derived organoid cultures has enabled higher-throughput drug-screening studies

  • How patients are currently being treated based on results from organoid testing
