3D Model Systems Webinar

The use of three dimensional (3D) culture models is rapidly expanding due to their recognition as representing more structurally and physiologically relevant models of in vivo biology. 3D cell culture assays attempt to mimic the cellular microenvironment including in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM) composition. In this webinar, we will cover the advantages and limitations of the various culture models, assay formats, and imaging approaches. Attendees will gain knowledge on setting up and optimizing a broad range of 3D assays that are the best fit for their particular application. Topics covered: 3D culture models, scaffold-free vs. hydrogel matrix models, an overview of the generation and use of organoids, molecular, biochemical, and imaging assay methods.
