FMI is a partner in the new EU “HCA|Organoid” project

Full grown intestinal organoid @Liberali group Organoid" was launched today. It aims at validating organoids as faithful models of human biology, combining single-cell profiling and organoid technology. Towards this goal, Europe's leading organoid researchers as well as experts in single-cell technologies have teamed up. The FMI - through group leader Prisca Liberali - is a project partner. Single-cell technologies provide a fundamentally new perspective for understanding biology, with profound potential to enable therapeutic advances and to put Europe at the forefront of personalized medicine and regenerative biology. In order to streamline research and accelerate scientific progress in this area, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) initiative provides worldwide coordination toward the goal of establishing comprehensive reference maps of all cell types in the human body. More about the Human Cell Atlas project Within the global context provided by the HCA, the new European research project HCA¦Organoid has set out to establish an "Organoid Cell Atlas".
