On-Demand Webinar: A Discussion of Current Research, Challenges, and Future Directions
Watch time: 60 minutes
Overview
The organoid field is advancing rapidly, accelerating the pace of research and discovery. Organoid models, ranging from neurons to cancer, are revealing biological insights that were previously unattainable with traditional cell culture or mouse models. Despite ongoing challenges, many believe the organoid field is entering its prime.
In this episode of GEN Live, Dr. Christine Mummery and Dr. Jim Wells, experts in cardiac and gastrointestinal organoids, respectively explore the role of organoids in both basic biology and drug discovery. They discuss how organoids are currently propelling research forward, aiding in the development of therapeutics, and contributing to the long-term goal of cell and tissue-replacement therapies.
