SCIENCE & INNOVATION CONCURRENT Organs-on-chips: Advanced culture systems to shape future therapies
Thursday, June 1, 2023 09:15 AM - 10:15 AM
Room 242AB
SCIENCE & INNOVATION
Concurrent
Chair
Ivan Martin, PhD, Head of Department of Biomedicine, University of Basel, Switzerland
Speakers
Paola Occhetta, PhD, Assistant Professor, Politecnico di Milan, Italy
Jose Luis Garcia Cordero, PhD, Principal Scientist, Roche Institute of Human Biology, Switzerland
Microfluidic systems are introducing unprecedented possibilities to develop miniaturized tissue and organ analogs, as models to investigate features of their development, function and pathology. The session will discuss how the resulting organs-on-chips, beyond their exploitation for drug development and testing, are envisioned to find utilization in the field of cell and gene therapy.
