Mini organs, big breakthroughs - an Accelerating Science Forum

Friday, January 23 at 16:00 GMT | 17:00 CET | 11:00 EST | 08:00 PST

This Accelerating Science Forum deep dives into organoids

Join Prof. Thomas Hartung of Johns Hopkins University, Prof. John McLean of Vanderbilt University, and Prof. Simone Sidoli of Albert Einstein College of Medicine as they discuss current challenges, key and emerging applications, and the future possibilities for organoid research.

Organoids are self-assembling 'mini organs' at the core of a new era, driving big breakthroughs in personalized medicine and next-generation therapies. These industrialized 3D in vitro models are transforming our ability to study disease biology and test and develop drugs with unprecedented accuracy, mirroring human response in ways traditional models cannot.

Join our upcoming Accelerating Science Forum – held in partnership with Tecan – where world-leading experts will explore the practical blueprint for capitalizing on this breakthrough technology. As part of our Accelerating Disease Research Feature, we will move beyond the scientific complexity to focus on how to successfully transition these powerful 3D models from the lab bench into industrialized, high-throughput screening environments to truly deliver the next generation of drug discovery.

Attend this online roundtable discussion to:

  • Gain actionable insights on how to move organoid models into high-throughput screening
  • Explore the critical path to achieving true functional maturity in multi-organ systems
  • Hear expert predictions on the industry landscape, key applications, and pace of clinical adoption for organoids over the next five years
