Recent advancements in organoid technology are revolutionizing the study of complex cancer mechanisms and viral infections. Researchers are increasingly utilizing three-dimensional (3D) organoid models to recreate the cellular diversity and microenvironment of native tissues, which traditional cell cultures and animal models often fail to capture. This shift is particularly significant in oncology and infectious disease research, where understanding tumor-host and virus-host interactions is critical.
In an upcoming webinar hosted by GEN, experts Amanda Linkous, PhD, and Hannah Nicholson will present their groundbreaking work using organoid platforms. Linkous will share insights on her team’s development of 3D organoid models that elucidate the interactions between tumors and their microenvironments, specifically in the context of brain metastasis from lung cancer. Meanwhile, Nicholson will discuss the creation of the first chicken lung organoids, which serve as a vital model for studying avian influenza viruses. These findings underscore the potential of organoids to unveil intricate biological processes that traditional models overlook, ultimately paving the way for more effective therapeutic strategies.
