Lung and brain organoids for COVID-19 research

November 2020
Centre for Comparative Medicine and Bioimage of Catalonia (CMCiB), Barcelona, Spain
Researchers at the Centre for Comparative Medicine and Bioimage of Catalonia (CMCiB) will infect human lung and brain organoids with SARS-CoV-2 directly obtained from patients. The final objective is to study how this virus affects human organs and the effectiveness of various drugs at halting the infection. This is possible thanks to the use of artificial intelligence (AI), that can detect to what degree the organoids are affected by the infection and the role of the drugs in each case.
The first projects on SARS-CoV-2 in lab-designed mini human organs gets underway
