AACR 2026 Highlights
AACR 2026 has officially wrapped – and what an incredible week it has been!
We were thrilled to welcome researchers from around the world to Booth #1941, where conversations centered on advancing cancer research through scalable, consistent, and clinically relevant models.
A key highlight was the strong interest in our end-to-end xeno-free 3D cell culture platform—featuring VitroGel® hydrogels, RocketCell™ media, CytoGrow™ growth factors, VitroPrime™ cultureware, and Cyto3D® analysis. Built to support the transition to New Approach Methodologies (NAMs), this integrated solution streamlines workflows across organoids, xenograft, 3D spheroids, invasion assays, and other advanced 3D systems.
Key Moments
A major highlight was the unveiling of new data and insights through our poster presentations, highlighting the versatility of VitroGel®-based 3D models and their growing impact in advancing cancer research across diverse applications.
XENOGRAFT
POSTER # 2175
in collaboration with
Towards ethical and robust drug development: Comprehensive validation of an animal-free matrix for in vivo tumor models
TUMOROID
POSTER # 4832
Developing Advanced Tumoroid Models Driven by Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition with a Novel Xeno-Free and Biofunctional Hydrogel System
ORGANOID
POSTER # 4863
Innovative xeno-free synthetic hydrogel supports iPSC-derived intestinal organoids and colorectal cancer (CRC) organoid growth, an advanced organoid platform for therapeutic screening
AACR wouldn’t be complete without a little fun—Alexis TheWhale made a splash at our booth, bringing smiles and great energy throughout the event.
We’re thrilled to congratulate our lucky winners from our social media follower draw for the KING-SIZE Alexis TheWhale! Thank you to everyone who participated, connected with us, and helped make this initiative such a memorable part of AACR 2026.
Key Product Launches
Another major highlight was the launch of our latest innovations, including the RocketCell™ Organoid Xeno-Free Essential-Core Medium and the VitroPrime™ 3D Culture and Imaging Plate. These solutions are designed to simplify organoid workflows and enable more consistent, high-quality 3D culture and imaging—further strengthening our end-to-end xeno-free platform.
