Peers Review | What's the Difference Between a Spheroid and an Organoid? (Sponsored by Roche)

New Matter: Inside the Minds of SLAS Scientists

Introducing our exciting new series - Peers Review! Get ready to explore fascinating topics in life sciences you may have heard of, but never fully understood.
This week is all about Spheroids and Organoids!
Hannah Rosen, Ph.D. is joined by SLAS Scientific Director Lesley Matthews, Ph.D., to discuss the differences between spheroids and organoids. Listen as they explore the advantages and trade-offs of using spheroids compared to organoids in research, touching on high-throughput, complexity and physiological relevance issues. Lesley highlights emerging technology that is making organoid research more scalable and predicts a future where organoids could be used for higher throughput studies. Overall, the conversation sheds light on the evolving landscape of 3D cell culture models and their importance in biomedical research.
Key Learning Points:

1. Speroids vs Organoids – Definition and Composition
2. What the primary differences are
3. How they factor into emerging technologies
4. The future outlook on spheroids and organoids
