It was great to hear, as part of Rose Café, the presentation by our Rose House Graduate Resident Fellow, Shiv Shah. Shiv presented his PhD research on Biomedical Engineering. His research focuses on “Organoids”, which are mini organs used to test drugs and predict how they will work on the human body. Organoids are used to mimic human organs in order to test new drugs, design new therapies and find new cures to challenging diseases that affect humans. Shiv is working for his PhD research on how to create immune organoid models to study antibody production for therapeutic purposes, such as ways to design innovative cancer treatments and new approaches for personalized medicine. It does sound like science fiction made reality, doesn’t it? Yet, if it works, the use of an artificially grown mass of cells or tissue that resembles an organ or a miniaturized and simplified version of an organ produced in vitro in three dimensions that shows realistic micro-anatomy, can help to develop new cures to important diseases. After all, Biomedical researchers push daily the frontiers of knowledge with innovative science to generate novel treatments and hopefully cures that will impact positively ours and future generations. Cool, isn’t it?
