TMOD-02. GEBTO: GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BRAIN TUMOR ORGANOIDS AS A NOVEL PRECLINICAL MODEL

Background One of the bottlenecks in basic and translational research on pediatric brain tumors, is the lack of suitable and representative preclinical models to study tumor biology and drug sensitivity. Over the last decades, extensive molecular characterization has uncovered many entities and subgroups with their unique oncodriving events. However, this heterogeneity is currently not reflected in the models available, especially not for in...
