Patient-derived organoid models for cystic fibrosis and primary ciliary dyskinesia studies

This talk focuses on patient-derived organoid models and the work undertaken for organoid personalised medication application. The talk will also discuss 3d culture models and the application of these models.

• Discuss individualizing with in vitro living cell models
• Review a readout for CF in organoids
• Gain an understanding of airway cell models for disease modelling
