Organoid Models in Nutrition Research: Emerging Tools and Applications
Special Offer! Use coupon code N26FIFTY for half off through December 31!
With growing emphasis from the National Institutes of Health on human-based research technologies, organoid models are gaining traction as powerful tools. Derived from stem cells, organoids recapitulate key features of human tissues and enable mechanistic insights with translational relevance. This session will include abstract presentations and featured talks highlighting applications of organoid-based models in nutrition research, with a focus on emerging approaches and opportunities for trainees and early-career investigators.
Originally presented at NUTRITION 2026, ASN's flagship meeting which was held July 25-28 in National Harbor, MD
