About the Core

Content

The overall goal of the Baylor College of Medicine 3D Organoid Core is to develop state of the art advanced human tissue models and platforms for application to studies designed to improve current understanding of biology at epithelial surfaces. The core generates, maintains, and provides experimentally ready human donor tissue-derived organoid cultures customized for individual projects. In addition to providing developed models, the core is also focused on developing new tools, models, and platforms for the exploration of additional aspects of epithelial biology. Centralized services provided by the core control and minimize costs, ensure quality control, and allow novel biological insight to be sought by the user. The core allows for the optimization and customization of core reagents by the user in consideration of unique aspects of individual projects.

Director's Message

Content

As director of the BCM 3D Organoid Core, I am excited to help users integrate this technology into their research programs. Organoids are cost effective, high throughput, and provide a human model of epithelial surfaces. Technology such as human organoids has recently been recognized by the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 to represent an animal free alternative to develop biological products for human health and these models may have better predictive power than traditional animal models or transformed cell lines. My vision is to create human based platforms that can provide personalized medicine-based approaches to health care to improve clinical outcomes at the individual level. The mission of the core is to help users discover, develop, and implement organoid technology in their research programs studying human health and disease. I invite you to browse our website and imagine how organoid technology can transform your biological questions.
