Location: HT Auditorium – Milan, Italy (In-person)
Hosted by: Human Technopole (HT)
Access: Open to the scientific community (Registration required)
Event Overview
As part of the HT Seminars: Connecting Discoveries series, Human Technopole will host a specialized seminar titled Engineering Organoids, featuring Professor Matthias Lutolf.
This session will explore advanced bioengineering strategies designed to guide stem cell self-organization, tackling the pivotal question of how to engineer organoids to better reproduce the complexity of human biology. The discussion will focus on the development of highly reproducible, physiologically relevant organoid systems aimed at unlocking new insights into human biology and complex disease mechanisms.
