University of Bonn appoints two new Argelander Professors specializing in organoid biology
Two new assistant professors at the University of Bonn are setting out to develop "mini-organs" in order to study metabolic and disease mechanisms. Elena Reckzeh is using these so-called organoids to identify new drug candidates, while Ana Ivonne Vazquez-Armendariz hopes that they can give her a better understanding of lung disease. As Argelander Professors in the L ife and Health Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) , the two researchers are working at the interface between various disciplines-and bridging the gap between chemistry, biology and medicine in the process.
Organoids are made from stem cells in the lab. ...
