Our research group had a fantastic day presenting our work on inner ear organoids! Heiko introduced our team and our ambitious goals, while Wouter showed how we’ve optimized the protocol to advance this cutting-edge model. We highlighted exciting applications: Amy on toxicity, Winnie & Esther on genetic disease modeling, Lucia on viral infections, and Athina & George on high-throughput screening. Incredible teamwork and inspiring science—all pushing the boundaries of what's possible!
