OrganoidNL Symposium

OrganoidNL Symposium 2023

The goal of this one-day symposium is to bring together researchers from across the Netherlands with an interest in organoid technology and biology – focused on adult (i.e. tissue organoids) but also covering embryonic (i.e. blastuloid, gastruloid) stages. Our talk and poster sessions will provide a platform for established and junior scientists to share their latest work. In addition to displaying the various research efforts that are currently ongoing at Dutch universities, academic hospitals, and research institutes, we hope that OrganoidNL will help to strengthen the ties between different labs, research communities, as well as companies, and result in new collaborations and knowledge exchange. With this effort, we aim to strengthen the position of the Netherlands in this rapidly expanding area of research.
