Labex Who Am I? “Visite Insolite” 2023

Organoids: mini-organs that grow in the laboratory

The visit will be held in French.

The Labex Who Am I? invites you on an unusual journey devoted to one of its main subjects: organoids.

Take part in a unique visit starting with a short introduction to the concepts of stem cells, organoids and the recently Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR technology, also known as “molecular scissors”. Then, put on your lab coat and gloves and enter the “cell culture” room to discover stem cells. In another room, observe organoids at different stages of evolution and help the researchers with their experiments. Finally, with fluorescence microscopy, you’ll see many colours when you look at organoid sections.

The afternoon will end with a convivial snack, where you can continue your discussions with the scientists.

To try to win your place for this unique immersion in a research laboratory, there is only one possibility:
