CONFERENCE AIMS
Organoid technology currently represents a fundamental tool for both basic and translational research.
Their potential to faithfully recapitulate human disease is the key for biomedical research in the present and in a near future.
The aim of this congress is to gather national and international experts in the field to provide updated knowledge on organoids as models of human diseases.
