📢 Save the date! Our next IRIS Insights is coming up this Thursday, June 26 at 2:00 PM (CEST).
We’re delighted to welcome Prof. Monilola Olayioye, who will speak on:
🎙️ "Tumors in Dishes: New Opportunities for Personalized Medicine"
In her talk, Prof. Olayioye will explore how patient-derived tissue samples can be used to advance cancer treatment. She’ll share insights from the 3R-US team on developing human tumor models – often called “tumors in dishes” – and how they are applied in the lab to test new therapies. The talk will also highlight approaches like bioprinting, alternatives to animal testing, and cancer biotherapeutics designed to activate the immune system.
🎯 The goal: more personalized and more effective cancer therapies.
This is the third talk in our IRIS Insights series, which showcases interdisciplinary research from the IRIS community and provides a space for dialogue across fields.
🗓️ Thursday, 26 June
🕑 2:00 PM (CEST)

!["Julie Packard has dedicated her career to preserving ocean life. In the late 1970s, after earning a master's degree in biology from the University of CA Santa Cruz, she chose to focus on environmental action. She helped transform a dilapidated fishing cannery into the world renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium in Northern California, in 1984. Today, the aquarium draws millions of visitors each year, and Packard continues to work as the organization's executive director. She also chairs the board of the innovative Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, which, in her words, aims to give "voice to the ocean, [to] have people realize our lives truly depend on the future of the sea." In 1998, Packard received the Audubon Medal for Conservation, and she currently serves on several commissions concentrating on national ocean policy. Hope Gangloff, known for her colorful, stylized portraits, spent a week making sketches & photographs of Packard against the backdrop of the Monterey Bay Aquarium."](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/647/140/786/493/557/original/ef00d3cb3a113d7b.png)
