8th RE-Place Educational webinar - 3D Models to Study Tumor Development and Alcohol Use Disorder

During this webinar session, the two speakers discussed their work on 3D models.
First, Dr. Cyril Corbet presented his work on ‘Metabolic studies in 3D spheroid and organoid models: current applications, opportunities and challenges in oncology’. Dr. Cyril Corbet is a Principal Investigator, FNRS Research Associate, at the Pole of Pharmacology and Therapeutics in the Institut de Recherche Expérimentale et Clinique at UCLouvain in Brussels. His current research group, created 4 years ago, is working on the interplay between tumor microenvironment and metabolism in the context of therapy resistance.
Then, Ami Gloria Toulehohoun introduced her work on ‘Intestinal Organoids (Enteroids) as a model for small intestinal epithelium alterations in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)’. Ami Gloria Toulehohoun is a PhD Student at the IREC institute of UCLouvain. To conduct her research project, she is using intestinal organoids to address specific questions associated to the intestinal barrier dysfunction.
The RE-Place educational Webinars are organized to promote the use and development of New Approach Methodologies in Belgium by putting the existing expertise in the spotlight. The Webinars are open to all interested parties including scientists, regulators, the authorities and the public.
