In recent years, one of the most exciting advancements in life sciences research has been the development of 3D cell culture systems, such as organoids, spheroids, or organ-on-chip models.
To provide a platform for domestic researchers working in the fields of 3D cell culture and organoids to showcase their scientific achievements, share research experiences, and engage in mutual learning, bioGenous and Leica Microsystems (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Leica Microsystems") have decided to jointly host the inaugural "Leica-bioGenous Cup" 3D Cell Culture and Organoid Photography Competition.
In the microscopic world, the passage of time seems magnified. The lifespan of these miniature organs—whether a moment, a day, or a lifetime—can be understood in the blink of an eye. To capture the fleeting beauty of life in the microscopic world, bioGenous invites you to participate in the first "Leica-bioGenous Cup" 3D Cell Culture and Organoid Photography Competition.
