About the Organoid Research Core

The ORC has a growing collection of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) developed from both normal and cancer breast tissue. Our experienced staff provides high-quality training in organoid development and culture, and consultation services to assist with experimental design, execution, and data analysis. 

Cathedral of Learning

What are organoids? 

  • Organoids are a three-dimensional model recapitulating the functional, structural, and biological complexity of an organ or tumor.
  • Organoids serve as a powerful tool for modeling human diseases.
  • Organoids are a unique and valuable resource for pre-clinical drug screening to improve patient outcomes through precision medicine.
