Plenary Roundtables

The Fascination with Gastrulation: The Applications and Ethics of Modeling Early Development 

The general public often has concerns about modeling human embryo development in vitro. Are these concerns justified? How might this knowledge be translated to be valuable for in vivo use? This panel will explore these issues.

Stem Cell Organoid Models as Empirical Testbeds for Personal Medicine Development 

Cystic fibrosis is fatal hereditary disease but for some patients, their symptoms can be relieved and life prolonged by certain drugs. These are costly however and only patients with certain genetic mutations are eligible. How can we identify others that may benefit without unnecessary inclusion of non-responders? Stem cell organoid models represent one possible answer. The scientific, clinical, patient, and regulatory aspects of this issue will be considered by the panel that includes the experts and a patient whose life was saved by the “organoid assay”.

Astellas 400x200Engineered Tissues: Challenges to Bring to Clinic

Regenerative medicine restoring organ function may benefit by pre-organizing tissues from stem cells prior to transplantation. How will the challenges in manufacturing complex bioengineered products for clinical trials and beyond be addressed? Biologists, engineers, and regulatory experts will discuss the complex aspects of the topic. This Plenary Roundtable is sponsored by Astellas.
