HiLIFE webinar / Viikki Monday Seminar: James Russell

Introduced rodent management on islands

Dr James Russell is a Professor of Conservation Biology at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, who for twenty years has focused on combining natural and social science approaches to resolving important questions in island vertebrate conservation. Typically, this has a focus on eradicating invasive rodents to restore native birds.

UPM Biomedicals 9th Annual Conference: Towards standardization of spheroids & organoids

What are the challenges and opportunities of using organoids in biomedical research? How can 3D cell toxicology models improve the safety and efficacy of new drugs? How can human-centric research reduce the reliance on animal testing and enhance the relevance of organoid models? How can cost-effectiveness of 3D models be achieved without compromising the quality and complexity of organoid cultures? Join us for an exciting event where research and industry experts will share their insights and experiences on these and other aspects of 3D cell culture, from quality assessment and optimization of organoid models to animal-free solutions and economic benefits of 3D models.
