About BaCell 3D
The BaCell 3D conference serves as a dynamic platform for the convergence of pioneering minds in the field of organoid technologies, microphysiological systems, in vitro development and regeneration, disease modeling, and drug discovery.
Our mission is clear: to foster collaboration, inspire innovation, and accelerate progress in the realm of in-vitro multicellular systems. We envision a future where these cutting-edge technologies reshape the frontiers of developmental and biomedical research.
BaCell 3D takes place annually in Basel, Switzerland, welcoming not only the vast local organoid community but also enthusiasts and experts from around the world. We are committed to creating a vibrant ecosystem where knowledge-sharing thrives, ideas flourish, and new horizons emerge. Together, we aim to revolutionize the way we understand and harness the power of advanced multicellular systems.
Join us at BaCell 3D, where we embark on a journey to shape the future of science and medicine.
