On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our pleasure to invite you to the first Canadian Conference in Organoid Research (CANCOR) / Conférence Canadienne sur la Recherche Organoïde (CCRO), which will be held on November 5-6, 2025, in London, ON, Canada. This event aims to bring together leading researchers, clinicians, and industry experts to discuss the latest advancements in organoid development and patient-derived 3D cell modelling for studying human health and disease. Based on the nature of organoid research and its applicability to patient-focused care, it is critical to include healthcare providers and policymakers and consider EDI concerns in integrating and using organoids from under-represented populations.
The program will feature:
- Keynote presentations from world-renowned experts
- Sessions on cutting-edge 3D model systems and translational applications
- Opportunities for networking and collaboration across disciplines and sectors
Our special keynote speaker will be Dr. Hans Clevers, Director of the Institute of Human Biology and one of the world’s leading researchers on stem cells and their potential for regenerative therapy.
We would be honored to have your participation at this event, which promises to be an engaging forum for knowledge exchange and scientific advancement. Abstract submission and registration are now open at https://www.westernorganoids.ca/cancor-ccro.
Abstract submission will close on October 5th. We are providing a number of awards to offset costs for trainees and there will be six oral presentation slots for trainees chosen from submitted abstracts.
