Dissecting Cancer-Microbiome Interactions With Organoids And Organ-Chips

Over the past 15 years, organoids have transformed our understanding of human organ and tumor behavior. Looking ahead, Organ-on-a-Chip technology is poised to elevate the sophistication of human organotypic models, offering a pathway to uncover more physiologically relevant insights into human health and disease.

In this webinar, Dr. Jens Puschhof from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) explores the potential synergy between organoid biology and Organ-on-a-Chip research, highlighting areas where these two technologies intersect. Dr. Puschhof also shares insights from his team's investigation into the role of cancer-associated bacteria in colorectal cancer metastasis using Emulate Organ-Chip models.

Key discussion points include the synergies between organoids and Organ-on-a-Chip technology, the translation of insights from organoid research to Organ-Chips, and the utility of Organ-Chips in studying the cancer-microbiome relationship.
