Human organoid facility & biobank
Human organoid facility & biobank
Firstly, the implementation of novel methodologies for patient-derived cancer organoid derivation, co-culture systems, transplantation and analysis.
Secondly, to provide training for EPS and cancer researchers to utilise these model systems and any methodologies our Centre develops. We wish to offer on-site training in the use and propagation of organoid cultures to engineering and physical sciences laboratories working with such systems for the first time.
We focus on developing technologies and methodologies to expand the range of questions that can be addressed using cancer organoid models. We have three main scientific objectives:
Access to the facility will be on a competitive basis with requests for project proposals made throughout the year with timings dependent on capacity. As with all Convergence Science Centre funding, proposals must be from cross-institution collaborative teams and use engineering/physical sciences expertise to address research or clinical questions in cancer.
