The five-day programme combined expert lectures with intensive hands-on training, covering state-of-the-art techniques for the development of advanced in vitro models, including spheroid bioprinting, intestinal organoid culture, and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) differentiation. The event brought together researchers from across Europe and Australia, fostering scientific exchange and interdisciplinary learning.
Beyond the scientific training, the summer school provided an excellent opportunity to establish new contacts with leading research groups from the University of Bologna, IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, and the Max Planck Institute. These interactions open promising perspectives for future collaborations and further strengthen the international networking activities of the eBio-hub Centre of Excellence in Bioengineering.
Participation in such international training initiatives contributes to the continuous development of our researchers' expertise and supports eBio-hub's mission of advancing innovative research at the interface of biomaterials, advanced 3D in vitro models, and translational medicine.
