Our speakers are leading researchers and experts in their field.
To facilitate great discussion the speakers will also form key panels over the two days, ensuring unique engagement opportunities in hot topics such as discovery and validation challenges, assay and analysis tool selection, core and collaborative facilities, data interpretation, organoid intelligence (OI), translational research adoption and organoid transplantation technology.
- We'll also discover the detail in leading research studies and the technologies addressing the ever changing needs across early stage discovery through screening and toxicology to the clinic.
- Therapeutic areas and disease models already in the programme include: Oncology, Neurology (Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis), Respirology, Infectious diseases, Metabolism, Endocrinology, Hepatology and Urology.
From Organoids in virus research to Organoids in Space, this promises to be the best in person event yet for Organoid and Organ-on-a-chip researchers!
