Organizer Description: Organoid technology is gaining global attention for its ability to improve drug translatability in preclinical therapies and mimic organ complexity. It offers numerous approaches for disease modelling, tissue engineering, drug development, diagnosis, and regenerative medicine. Investing in training programs, infrastructure, and resources will enable the region to leverage its scientific potential and contribute valuable insights to global organoid research,

Towards strengthening capacity in Latin America, we are pleased to announce this new course held in collaboration with Institute Pasteur de Montevideo. This in-person hands-on laboratory course will provide a series of organoid-based laboratory practicals coupled with demonstrations of the latest technology. The programme will also include seminars and workshops geared to answer specific questions around Organoid generation and utilisation, as well as providing a platform for participants to present their work and engage in networking opportunities.
