Behind Every Breakthrough: Organoids
Health & BehaviorScientists at UC San Diego are utilizing patient-derived-organoids — miniature, three-dimensional models of human organs grown from a patient’s cells—to revolutionize the drug discovery process and get promising new treatments into clinical trials faster. UC San Diego professor Pradipta Ghosh explains the value of organoid-based drug discovery and the critical need to protect research funding to enable the next generation of biomedical breakthroughs.
