Check out this Venice Neuroscience course on #assembloids, which I am co-organizing with @jimena-andersen.bsky.social and @fikri-birey.bsky.social, who developed the initial assembloid system a decade ago. It promises to be a fun week, with a spectacular lineup of speakers and in-depth discussions.
