INTESTINAL ORGANOIDS
Adult intestinal stem cells can give rise to in vitro long-term self-renewing mini gut structures called “Intestinal Organoids”. These organoids resemble the epithelial structure of the intestine, where LGR5+ stem cells, located in crypts, represent a long term self-renewing population that gives rise to all cell types of the intestinal epithelium. Dr. Bon-Kyoung Koo, one of the pioneers of this technology, will also cover fast-developing cancer organoids technologies.

CEREBRAL ORGANOIDS
We have developed a cerebral organoids course to empower scientists with this revolutionary technology. Using human pluripotent stem cells to create in vitro cerebral organoids allows the study of neural developmental mechanisms in human as well as the roots of human neurological diseases. Cerebral organoids can indeed be used in experiments where current in vitro methods are too simple and they are more human applicable than rodent or other mammalian models.

In the lectures you will learn from expert instructors how to establish, culture and manipulate intestinal and cerebral organoids. You will discover the state-of-the-art of organoid technology and learn all the theory you need to design your experiments. The lectures will cover both intestinal and cerebral organoids.
