School coordinators

Chiara Braconi (UK) and Diego Calvisi (DE)

Learning objectives

• Identification of key areas where novel models can help move cholangiocarcinoma research forward;
• Learning protocols for the development of tumour-derived organoids;
• Identification of challenges in the definition of the pathway to obtain fresh tissue from patients and identification of potential solutions to be implemented;
• Learning theoretical skills for the development of co-cultures and the study of cell-to-cell interaction within 3D models;
• Learning about the suitability of novel cholangiocarcinoma animal models to answer different research questions;
• Review of technical guidelines to follow in animal experiments.
