3D: Biomaterials for Organoids

Timeslot: Thursday, April 20, 2023 - 10:30am to 12:00pm
Room: Coral 1-2

About

An organoid is a self-organized three-dimensional tissue that is typically derived from stem cells (pluripotent, fetal or adult) and which mimics the critical functional, structural, and biological complexity of an organ, such as the gut, brain, eye, pancreas, liver, kidney, and lung. Organoids bridge a gap in existing model systems by providing a more stable system amenable to extended cultivation and manipulation while more representative of in vivo physiology. This session will cover the most recent advancements of biomaterials-mediated organoid and organ chip technologies in regenerative medicine, cancer therapy, drug testing, environmental control, monitoring, adaptive sensing, and translational applications. This topic was well-received in the previous SFB meetings and is an exciting emerging research area. In 2023, we will continue this session and promote the translational impacts of biomaterials-mediated organoid projects.
