Endoscopic Ultrasound and Related Technologies for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pancreatic Disease: Research Gaps and Opportunities Workshop
Despite its widespread adoption, EUS methodology is evolving. Criteria for clinical performance and reporting are not uniform, training requirements are variable, and new EUS-based methods for diagnosis and treatment are being developed for clinical validation studies. The purpose of the planned workshop is to explore these advances, inform the community of clinician investigators, and identify research gaps that might shape future funding initiatives by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and other agencies. Registration deadline: July 16,, 2017.
Location: Pittsburgh, PA

Cources@CRG: Tissue Engineering Course: From STEM Cells to Organiods
Organoids are revolutionizing the fields of developmental and stem cell biology as they have enabled the in vitro generation of complex structures resembling whole organs. They can be generated either from resident progenitors in adult organs or from pluripotent stem cells (ES and iPSc). When stem cells are grown in a 3D environment, they recapitulate the mechanisms of organogenesis seen in vivo. They are able to differentiate, go through the processes of cell-sorting and acquire the specific tissue patterning to develop into several endoderm- mesodem and ectoderm-deriveSelected participants will get an overview of the background and current methods for the generation and characterizatio
