DESCRIPTION:Three-dimensional organoid cultures constitute a powerful reso
 urce to study stem cell biology and\nprovide an innovative platform to unv
 eil human development and model human diseases.\nThe first speaker will:\n
 \n• introduce 3D pancreatic organoid cultures\,\n\n• describe their po
 tential application for regenerative therapies in diabetes and\n\n• disc
 uss their ability to model pancreatic cancer\n\nThe second speaker will\n\
 n• give an overview of the 3D cerebral organoid culture method\,\n\n• 
 discuss how cerebral organoids recapitulate aspects of human brain develop
 ment and\n\n• discuss their application in the study of neurodevelopment
 al disorders.
