Improving organoid analysis with new developmental approaches

Having gained experience developing patient-derived organoids during her postdoc training and quickly identifying them as an hot prospect for the life sciences, Alice Soragni (left) founded her lab at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; CA, USA) with a mission statement focused to develop sophisticated organoid models for cancer research. Now her lab includes a basic research line focused on protein aggregation in cancer, which runs alongside her investigations of tumor organoid models for rare cancers. Here, we discuss her work on the development of tumor organoid models for benign conditions and rare malignant cancers, how she has altered...
