The development of successful therapies necessitates the assessment of a drug´s effect on multiple cell or tissue types. Some immunomodulatory drugs, for example, require the interaction between immune cells and epithelia to produce the desired effect. Modelling these complex interactions is often achieved at the expense of scalability, thus posing a challenge for drug development. At HUB, we set up unique organoid co-cultures to allow the development of immunomodulatory agents targeting T cells, macrophages, or fibroblasts, within the tumor microenvironment or to model the host-microbiome interactions by bringing together organoid and pathogens like bacteria or viruses. With our technology, researchers can study immune responses or inflammation, without the added complexity from in vivo modelling or microfluidic devices.
