Toward a Minnesota Organoid Center Symposium and Workshop
University of Minnesota - Mayo Clinic
As part of the IEM Innovation week, the Stem Cell Institute at the University of Minnesota is hosting a day-long event that will bring together researchers and clinicians from the University of Minnesota and the Mayo Clinic for sessions and workshops on the topic of organoids and microphysiologic systems. The program will cover strategies for the manufacture and cryopreservation of organoids for discovery and advanced diagnostic platforms and for translational patient care. The day will end with a keynote address from Valeria Canto-Soler, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology,Doni Solich Family Chair in Ocular Stem Cell Research and Director of CellSight – Ocular Stem Cell and Regeneration Research Program at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
AGENDA
Morning Session 1 (9:00 - 11:30 am)
Building Oganoids for Discovery and Development of Advanced Diagnostic Platform
Afternoon Session 2 (1:00 - 4:00 pm)
Translating Organoids into Patient Care
Poster Session (4:00 - 5:00 pm)
Trainees are invited to submit posters that will be on display throughout the day and judged during which time authors will be present at their posters for discussion with attendees and judges. Prizes for the best posters presentations will be awarded at the social hour at McNamara Alumni Center.
