Organoids

The emergence of organoids, simulations and AI-based approaches raises practical questions about how neuroscience should combine human studies with animal models. This workshop examines why animal models remain necessary for some medical questions and how complementary experimental systems can support stronger conclusions. Case studies connect brain organoids and zebrafish in rare genetic disease, rodent and human neuromodulatory systems, translation from rat experiments to clinical research, and human versus non-human primate contributions to understanding decisions and movement. A concluding

…and theoretical training in spheroids, organoids and tissue explants. Participants compare models for biological research, disease modelling and functional precision medicine, including their strengths, limitations and levels of complexity. Training covers extracellular matrices, reproducible culture establishment, experimental controls, longitudinal microscopy, viability and cell-death assays, advanced imaging and preparation for downstream omics. Experimental-data processing and interpretation accompany the la

…Stem-cell embryo models, organoids and microphysiological systems are connected with single-cell, spatial and multi-omic measurements, gene editing and bioengineering. The programme welcomes re

…research using model organisms or organoids, supported by advanced microscopy, cell and molecular engineering, and modelling expertise. Coordinate scientific projects and supervise specialists as appropriate. The annualized salary range is USD 87,450–108,250; work is primarily onsite at 615 Westlake Avenue North, Seattle, with limited remote flexibility.

…Talks address stem cells, organoids, tissue architecture, vascularized models, mechanistic digital twins and reproducible disease platforms. Session discussions conclude with research priorities and next steps; medical phantom demonstrations illustrate imaging validation.

Macrophages from the same parental cells acquire resident phenotypes; diabetic and polycystic kidney models show context-dependent effects on inflammation, epithelial injury and disease progression. Minoru Takasato addresses kidney organoids’ missing urinary outflow by generating bladder tissue from human pluripotent cells.
