Due to the high efficiency of establishing organoid models from different tissues and diseases, such as cancer, organoid technology allows the generation of large living biobanks of tumor organoids that are amenable for middle - throughput drug screens and may allow personalized therapy design, as a complement to cell line and xenograft - based drug studies (7,19).

For understanding the biology of gene - gene, gene - drug and gene - microenvironment interactions, a considerably broader range of in vitro and in vivo model systems is required — we are generating 1,000 organoid cultures from human cancers, characterising their genomes, functional dependencies and drug response, and we are expanding our in vivo models to study the interface between cancer and the immune system and microenvironment.
