Live-cell imaging for label-free toxicology analysis of hepatic organoids

Conventional 2D cultures of primary hepatocytes or established hepatic cell lines do not provide a true representation of the cellular mechanisms observed in vivo. In this webinar we will demonstrate an efficient and consistent protocol developed by STEMCELL Technologies to extract, grow, and differentiate liver cells in a complex 3D organoid culture system. These organoids more closely resemble the human liver and can be used in standard and high throughput assays to accommodate both academic and industry research needs.

This webinar will demonstrate the use of hepatic organoid cultures to validate a label-free live-cell toxicology screen using a powerful and flexible Incucyte® Live-Cell Analysis System.

Key learning objectives

  • Organoid cultures – from tissue to mature 3D organoid culture and their downstream analysis
  • Real-time kinetic analysis of organoids
  • Label-free live-cell toxicology screening
  • Key challenges of compound validations and data interpretation to improve the efficacy of drug discovery workflow

Who should attend?
Both academic and industry researchers using 3D in vitro models.

Certificate of attendance
All webinar participants can request a certificate of attendance, including a learning outcomes summary, for continuing education purposes.
