We look back at our inaugural symposium on “3D Organ Modelling in Health and Disease”, held in Leuven last week, with great pleasure. We had the opportunity to listen to exciting and highly interesting presentations covering a wide spectrum of organ and disease modeling for elucidating disease mechanisms and discovery and validation of drug targets and therapies.
Wrapping up the meeting in a few highlights, we welcomed:

• 240 participants to Leuven
• 13 invited speakers
• 77 accepted abstracts
• 4 selected orals
• 15 poster pitches
• 3 best poster prizes

We would like to thank once again all the attendees for being such a brilliant and interactive audience, the great discussions, the new ideas and collaborations made, and not to be forgotten, the sponsors for supporting the meeting.
We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did and we hope to meet again in the near future.
