Scientific Conference «Organoids and other 3D crops»

Next Tuesday, May 16, the Scientific Conference "Organoids and other 3D crops" will take place, within the IIS Aragón Research Program, in which we will have researchers of recognized prestige in this field who will help us to know what the organoids and what possibilities they open for the study of diseases and their treatment.

This conference is aimed at professionals in the health system, researchers and personnel in training in the field of health, and has the objective of offering a global vision and an environment for scientific debate about this novel field of work, in which the Biobank of Aragón Health System is working in coordination with the Biobanks and Biomodels Platform of the Carlos III Health Institute.
