Applications of Organoid Technology is a one-week intensive course
offered by MDI Biological Laboratory in partnership with Hubrecht
Organoid Technology (The HUB), a non-profit organization based in the
Netherlands. The HUB is founded on the pioneering work of Prof. Dr. Hans
Clevers who discovered methods to grow stem cell-derived human
epithelial ‘mini-organs’ (organoids) from tissues of patients with
various diseases including cancer and cystic fibrosis.

Course participants will learn the basics of organoid culture and the
most recent developments in the organoid field. Hands-on laboratory work
will focus on cultures from The Living Biobank at The HUB which include
organoids from patients with various forms of cancer (colon, prostate,
lung, pancreas) and cystic fibrosis.  Confocal imaging of these
organoids in culture will be incorporated into ongoing bench work.
