AMMF

The annual AMMF cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) conference facilitates and encourages the sharing of information amongst interested medics in the UK, Europe and internationally. It provides an opportunity to find out about improvements in treatments, new and ongoing clinical trials, updates on research and encourages collaboration between researchers and medics. For 2024, AMMF is delighted to welcome Professor Shahid Khan and Professor Chiara Braconi, two internationally renowned specialists at the forefront of the CCA world, who will co-chair a conference dedicated to exploring the advances that are happening now. They will host a faculty of speakers selected from across the globe who will speak of the challenges faced and advances made in the understanding of CCA, and will discuss the importance of accelerating progress we are now seeing.

The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL)

Many of the limitations of cellular and animal models of liver disease can be overcome by using human precision cut liver slices and liver organoid cultures. These cutting-edge 3D models can recapitulate the complex multi-cellular pathways involved in liver injury and disease progression. In this Basic Science EASL school, each participant will receive hands-on practical training in the preparation, culture and characterisation of precision cut liver slices. Each participant will directly derive liver organoids from liver tissue and foetal liver tissue. We will train participants in small groups of 6 persons, allowing each delegate to perform these techniques individually. Further to this, each participant will walk away with the ability to induce steatosis, injury, inflammation and fibrosis in the slices and the capability to perform microscopic evaluation of both slices and organoids.
