Late Night Conference with Wilhelm Huck's first episode of season 2 kicks off Thursday, January 6th at 20h00 on our YouTube channel Late Night Conference with WH and LIVE at Elinor Ostromgebouw in Radboud University*!!

In our first episode, Hans Clevers, Professor of Molecular Genetics at Utrecht University, will be sharing his journey on harnessing stem cells to make artificial organoids. Are you going to miss it?

Hans Clevers’ research origins began in studying the stem cells of the intestines. These cells are especially relevant for the development of diseases, such as cancer. Clevers’ and his team identified the intestinal stem cells involved in the renewal of the outermost layer of the organ, called the epithelium, and with this, managed to grow these cells into artificial mini-intestines, so-called organoids. These organoids are useful research tools for studying a variety of phenomena - from basic developmental and cell biology to toxicology, as well as hereditary diseases, and cancer.

The Late Night Conference with Wilhelm Huck is a series of live-streamed themed lectures and interactive discussions for science students and those interested in science in general. During this pandemic period, it has become harder to communicate science to students and young researchers, just like you. We want to experience the latest developments, provide you with perspectives on scientific careers, and let you get involved with discussions. So we came up with the Late Night Conference, where every month we invite a distinguished speaker to present a live lecture. Not only that, but the talk will be followed by a lively Q&A session fed by questions from you, our audience! Save every first Thursday of the month for great interactive science!
