At a time when organoids and next-generation biological models are among the fastest-growing fields worldwide, ODC26 aims to create a new turning point at the center of this momentum.
Under the theme “Mirrors: The Reflective Turn” we explore how to accelerate the translation of clinical and regulatory innovation at the intersection of organoids, NAMs, and emerging biotechnologies.
This year in particular, leading organizations in the biohealth field – including the KoBIA, K-Organoid Consortium, Organoids Are Us, iMPSS, KSSCR and KRIBB are coming together not merely as sponsors, but as part of a powerful ecosystem collaboration centered on organoids.
To researchers, industry professionals, and experts in policy and regulation – and to all those who wish to be part of ODC’s unique convergence –
We invite you to join us in Seoul this September.
