Workshop: Organoids and Advanced 3D in Vitro Models for Research in Health and Disease | 2nd Edition
2-6 November 2020 | i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde
The workshop aims to cover organoids and 3D in vitro systems research. The aim is to introduce researchers to organoid systems, focusing on their application in cancer, infectious diseases and regenerative medicine. Researchers will also participate in "hands-on" classes covering the culture and maintenance of intestinal organoids.
Course with 20 hours’ approximate duration:
- Theoretical component covering the following issues (8 hours):
o Organoids models in cancer, infectious diseases and regenerative medicine
o Stem cells and microenvironment in organoid culture context
o 3D in vitro models and biofabrication techniques for biomedicine
- Practical component focusing on hands-on training in the culture of intestinal organoids (6 hours).
Target audience: PhD students and Early Stage Researchers
Organizers: Anna Olsson, i3S; Marta Alves da Silva, i3S
