6th HITRIplus Seminar: Human organoids: a new model system for pre-clinical studies

6th HITRIplus Seminar Human organoids: a new model system for pre-clinical studies of toxicity and effectiveness of particle therapy, GSI Our speaker, Dr. Insa Schroeder, is heads the Stem Cell Differentiation and Cytogenetics Group of the Biophysics Department at the GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research, Darmstadt. She received her PhD in food chemistry and toxicology, but quickly devoted herself to stem cell research at the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Bethesda MD, USA, and in the In vitro Differentiation Group at the Leibniz-Institute (IPK) Gatersleben. As a head of the Junior Research Group “Stem Cell Research” at the Translational Center for Regenerative Medicine, Leipzig and the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg she broadened her expertise in the differentiation of human adult and embryonic stem cells, tissue regeneration and the generation of disease/patient-specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. At GSI, her lab's ongoing bench research includes investigations of radiation effects on the differentiation, maintenance and regeneration of cardiac and neuronal tissues using human pluripotent stem cell based normal tissue and tumor organoids. She will give an overview of this work during the seminar, focusing on the innovative model system for pre-clinical studies of toxicity and effectiveness of particle therapy. ___________ This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101008548
