What did people say about WORD+2024?
Back from WORD+2024 and feeling incredibly honoured to have been invited to speak alongside so many exceptional scientists. It's like science fiction meets reality in research, where various miniaturised organs- organoids- are being cultivated. From Valentina Fossati's brain organoids being sent into space to the group of Thomas Hartung teaching brain organoids to play jump and run computer games and Marianna Kruithof-de Julio presenting her incredible cancer research. I am happy to have the opportunity to meet such exciting new collaboration partners like Johanna Bolander. I look forward to the conference next year and the exciting collaboration projects that will follow.

World Organoid Research Day conference was awesome! From captivating speakers to industry-leading biotechnology companies, the event combined innovation and cutting-edge research. But what truly set it apart was its vibrant culture - live music and a warm atmosphere set the ground for some great networking. The research showcased at the conference unveiled a promising frontier in biotechnology - the development of 3D tissue models known as organoids and organ-on-a-chip systems. These cutting-edge technologies hold immense potential to revolutionize how we model human physiology.
‘ I know I had posted about how promising the event was going to be due to the great speakers, the content of the talks and the number of delegates signed up to attend, but the actual event far exceeded expectations!
It was a great 2 days with so much interaction with the organoid community, and it culminated in the attendees voting us as having the best technology at the conference!!'
‘Well done! Your event was fantastic, best conference I’ve been to in terms of quality leads for years! Please put us down next year for a booth and a tech spot too if there is one! Also, delegates were commenting on how informative and eye opening the talks were and the whole event was organised perfectly!!
‘World Organoid Research Day+ highlighted the community’s strong commitment towards high quality animal-free research. The amount of innovation and creativity in the field which was showcased across the great panel of speakers, foreshadowed a not-so-distant future away from traditional animal testing. Looking forward to next year! We haven’t quite decided yet what it’ll go towards but a most likely more Cerebral Organoids (of course) and a celebratory meal with the company'.
‘ What a pleasure to attend the World Organoid Research Day conference and to hear about the unbelievable advances in organoid biology and applications. Thank you for organizing such a stellar event and thanks to all the incredible scientists who spoke to me about their research.'
The #worldorganoidresearchday meeting was awesome. I was sincerely moved by the cutting-edge research that is going to benefit you, me, and our families in clinical applications and beyond. Thank you so much for inviting me, and looking forward to next time!
