Transformative Technologies in Pancreatic Cancer: Multi-omic Insights and Organoid Innovation

Transformative Technologies in Pancreatic Cancer

In recognition of Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, cutting-edge technologies are transforming our understanding of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Organoids to Insight

Presented by Dr. Max Reichert, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits extensive cellular heterogeneity, underlying its aggressive clinical behavior and resistance to therapy.

PDAC tumor cell states emerge through self-organizing programs governed by epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity.

A collagen-embedded, branching organoid model has been developed to decode the principles driving this diversity, mirroring the hierarchical organization and phenotypic complexity observed in human and murine PDAC.
