*Applications of Organoid Technology*

For advanced graduate students, post-doctoral trainees, and researchers  at all levels.

Dates: May 24–30, 2020
Location: MDI Biological Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine

Apply Now:  https://mdibl.org/course/organoid-technology-2020/

Applications of Organoid Technology is a one-week intensive course  offered by the MDI Biological Laboratory in partnership with Hubrecht  Organoid Technology (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, breast, lung, pancreas) and cystic fibrosis.  This year, we are also introducing a practical demonstration using iPS-derived kidney organoids. Confocal imaging of these organoids in culture will be incorporated into ongoing bench work.

The course directors, Drs. Hugo de Jonge (Erasmus MC) and Sylvia Boj (Hubrecht Organoid Technology) are organoid culture and application experts. Additional course faculty and assistants will enhance hands-on research training activities.
