Moreover, he will also be responsible for the HCA interactions within Work Package 5. Hans Clevers and Anne Rios will contribute their expertise to the organoid derivation in Work Package 1 led by the Hubrecht Institute, and to the single-cell imaging (Work Package 3) and in-depth functional validation of the most interesting targets identified in the disease-centric proof-of-concept studies focusing on colon organoids (Work Package 6).
