Organoids are formed through three-dimensional in vitro culture of adult stem cells. Compared to other in vivo and in vitro models, organoids can closely mimic the structural, molecular subtype, and physiological cell composition of tissues. Organoids have been widely used in research on disease mechanisms, high-throughput drug screening, new drug development, and personalized treatment.
To address the challenges of organoid culture, bioGenous launched a technical training program starting in October, offering both large and small class formats. From October 10-11, 2022, the second session of the BioGenous Organoid Technology Training Course successfully concluded after two days.
This training course combined theory with hands-on practice, covering organoid culture knowledge, techniques, and applications. Participants were guided through the primary extraction of mouse small intestine organoids and the cultivation of tumor organoids, gaining skills in both normal and tumor organoid culture. This provided researchers with the tools needed to efficiently culture organoids for scientific research.
To cater to various levels of technical training needs, the organoid technology training courses are divided into large and small classes. Those interested in participating can click the link "Sowing Organoids | Organoid Technology Training Course is Open" for more details.
Now, let's take a look back at this session of the training course!
The sharing session by Dr. HU Hao, the Marketing Director of bioGenous
bioGenous technical expert, Ms. Hui, explained the key technical points.
The theoretical session of the technical training was not just about theory but also focused on combining it with "hands-on practice." Ms. Hui used operational videos and technical manuals to guide participants through the practical training, explaining the technical difficulties and key points step by step. This approach helped deepen the trainees' understanding and gave them a more intuitive grasp of organoid technology.
The trainees visited bioGenous exhibition hall, where they discussed the company’s business and products. They expressed high praise for bioGenous' extensive experience in the organoid field, as well as its strong research, development, and translational capabilities.

After two days of theoretical and practical training, the participants of the training class excelled in the operation of primary isolation and culture of mouse intestinal organoids and the dissociation culture of tumor (colorectal cancer) organoids. On this basis, they also had a certain understanding of the passage culture of tumor and normal tissue organoids, cryopreservation, resuscitate culture and paraffin embedding of organoids. It is our common wish to make organoid technology accessible and to make organoids produce fruitful results in the laboratories, departments and enterprises of the four sides of the motherland!
