From organoids to assembloids—take the next step in disease modeling.

Join leading experts as they explore new approaches for creating organoid systems that better reflect human biology.

You'll learn about:
• Liver assembloids that model biliary fibrosis
• Long-term expansion of liver tissue
• Synthetic matrices for liver and pancreatic organoid culture
• Practical strategies for increasing organoid complexity while maintaining reproducibility

September 14, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. ET

Free webinar. Open to all.

Congress has put the brakes on proposed changes to federal research funding—for now.

Congress has passed a Continuing Resolution that will fund the federal government through December 11, 2026, while also temporarily blocking White House regulations that could significantly change how federal funding, including research funding, is evaluated.

The measure passed the Senate 90–6 and the House 370–48, and the White House has indicated support for the legislation.

The delay is an important development for the research community—but the issue isn't over. As ASCB's Kevin Wilson writes, the additional time provides an opportunity to continue working toward policies that support the scientific enterprise.

Read the latest ASCB Science Policy update:

Congress has finally passed a Continuing Resolution (CR) that will fund the federal government through December 11, 2026. The CR will also prevent the White House from implementing harmful regulations that, if enacted, would drastically change how federal funding, including federal research, is eval...

What's next for organoid research?

Discover how researchers are building increasingly complex, reproducible models that better mimic human disease.

In Session 2 of From Organoids to Assembloids, Dr. Meritxell Huch will discuss a periportal liver assembloid model that reconstructs lobule architecture, while Didarul Bhuiyan, PhD will share how synthetic matrices support liver and pancreatic organoid culture.

September 14, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. ET
