About

Innovative animal and human-ORGANOid platform to advance understanding of vesicle-induced MICROenvironment, in pathology throughout the LIFE course (OrganoMicroLife).

Objectives

The OrganoMicroLife project is pushing the boundaries of medical research by exploring innovative 3D culture systems to better understand immune-mediated diseases and cancer. Through four key research areas, the project will examine how cells communicate within these advanced models, explore genetic and morphological factors, and integrate cutting-edge omics technologies. The ultimate goal is to create more accurate, human-relevant models that could revolutionize disease treatment and our approach to personalized medicine.
