Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The upcoming Special Issue, “Advances in Organoid Technology: Bridging the Gap between Research and Therapy”, highlights the groundbreaking research and discussions presented at the “Organoids Are Us 2024” symposium. Organized by Prof. Elizabeth Vincan, Prof. Ramanuj DasGupta, and Asst. Prof. Somponnat Sampattavanich, this conference is a premier event in the field, bringing together leading experts and emerging scientists to share their latest findings and innovative approaches in organoid technology.
“Organoids Are Us” is renowned for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and driving advancements in biomedical research. The symposium provides a unique platform for presenting pioneering work on organoids, which are three-dimensional structures derived from stem cells that replicate the complexity and functionality of real organs. Organoids offer unparalleled insights into human biology, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic potential, making them invaluable tools for both basic research and clinical applications.
The “Organoids Are Us 2024” symposium, now in its sixth year, marks the first time it will be held outside of Australia. Scheduled to take place from Tuesday, August 6, 2024 to Thursday, August 8, 2024, at the Ozo North Pattaya in Thailand, the symposium promises to be a landmark event. Conceived and named by Special Issue Guest Editor Professor Elizabeth Vincan, the symposium underscores the fundamental truth that “organoids” are indeed "us."
Conference participants are invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Organoids. Submissions from conference participants will be completely free of charge. We welcome previously unpublished work on all aspects and applications of organoids. This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and therapeutic applications, covering topics such as innovative methods for generating and manipulating organoids, their use in disease modeling, drug discovery, personalized medicine, and regenerative therapies. By featuring contributions from this esteemed symposium, the collection of work seeks to drive scientific innovation and translate organoid technology from the bench to the bedside.
