Registration is not yet open for this event. If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest.
The ability to grow human tissues from stem cells in 3D culture has the potential to revolutionise the drug discovery process and regenerative medicine. Building on a long tradition of cell and developmental biology knowledge, organoids resembling a variety of human tissues have been generated. This conference will bring together the leading researchers in this field to establish a new research community and reveal parallels between various tissue models. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers from different fields to enhance our understanding of how organoids can be formed and maintained, how they can be used to study disease and how we might eventually use them to regenerate and replace human organ tissue.
“The EMBO | EMBL Symposium ‘Organoids: Modelling organ development and disease in 3D culture’ was a fantastic opportunity to network with researchers from around the world, to learn about new techniques and the latest exciting research. Especially the top-class line-up of invited and keynote speakers left an impression – I am looking forward to the program of the next symposium!” – Rhena Klar, University Medical Center Freiburg, German Cancer Consortium (DKTK), Partner Site Freiburg, Germany
“At the #EESOrgan Symposium, it was all about diving deep into organoid breakthroughs, sharing insights, and getting inspired by leading voices in the field. Between the thought-provoking talks, interactive poster sessions, and that memorable party, this event is a must for everyone passionate about organoid research.” – Branka Radic Sarikas, St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute and Medical University of Vienna

EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials. One current scam campaign of which we are aware is conducted using the name ‘Judy Eastman’ (judy@gopcontact.a2hosted.com) and entails approaches to sponsors offering sponsorship opportunities on EMBL’s behalf. Please be kindly advised that all relevant communication regarding sponsorship of EMBL conferences, symposia and courses is handled by EMBL directly and is sent from an official EMBL account. EMBL does not work with any external providers on sponsorship acquisition.

Suspicious communications purportedly from, for or on behalf of EMBL should be reported to EMBL at the following email address sponsorship@embl.de.
EMBO | EMBL Symposia promote scientific communication and collaboration in the European research area. They provide scientists with a platform to discuss and exchange ideas on forward-looking topics and new developments in the life sciences.
Topics emphasise upcoming developments and the interdisciplinary nature of related fields. Jointly funded and organised by EMBO and EMBL – and complementary to their respective courses, workshops, and conference programmes – the symposia promote scientific communication and collaboration.
All symposia are held in the EMBL Advanced Training Centre (ATC) in Heidelberg, Germany, or virtually.
