At the prestigious BaCell 3D - Organoid Conference, Stephanie Frenz-Wießner received the coveted Best Oral Presentation Award for her outstanding presentation. The conference, which focuses on advanced organoid technologies, attracted experts and researchers from around the world.

In addition to her achievement, Stephanie Frenz-Wießner is pictured with the poster presentation winners, who were also recognized for their outstanding scientific contributions. For more information on the conference, please visit www.bacell3d.com.

Organoids - three-dimensional miniature models of organs - are less than a millimetre in size. Ideally, they should be able to replicate the functions of their larger counterparts. An interdisciplinary team of scientists at the Dr. von Haunerschen Children's Hospital of the LMU has now succeeded in constructing human bone marrow organoids. "We believe that this technology could prove useful in many ways - from modelling congenital and acquired bone marrow diseases to the biotechnological production of blood cells," says Professor Christoph Klein, Director of the LMU Children's Hospital and Children's Polyclinic. In the journal Nature Methods, the team has described in detail their innovative method for generating these complex human bone marrow organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells.
