Animal testing or organoids—this question is increasingly being answered in favour of organoids. Yet robust model systems still require further research and, crucially, validation. More large pharmaceutical companies are now pursuing this goal, whether by acquiring relevant start-ups or by establishing their own research centres, as Roche has just done in Basel.

Organoids are reshaping cancer R&D by providing more accurate, patient-relevant models than classical methods. By bridging the gap between preclinical and early clinical stages, they enable patient-centric target validation, drug discovery, and therapeutic development, representing a significant step toward truly precision oncology
Organoid technology has emerged as one of the most groundbreaking and cutting-edge technologies in the biomedical field. It finds widespread applications in disease modeling, drug discovery and screening, companion diagnostics, cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and more.
