SELECTBIO is delighted to announce Organ-on-a-Chip Europe 2016, which will be held on 5 – 6 April in Cambridge, UK.
This inaugural conference will explore this emerging field wherein microfluidics-based approaches are being utilised to assemble clusters of cells in a physiologically-relevant architecture. These organs-on-chips can be utilised for functional studies ex vivo such as toxicity screening wherein a proper spatial cellular organization is key to manifest functionality.
Organ-on-a-Chip Europe will feature keynote presentations from:
- Lars Sundstrom, Professor of Practice in Translational Medicine, Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research, Bristol University
- David Hughes, Chief Technical Officer, CN Bio Innovations Ltd
- David Jones, Senior Scientific Advisor, Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
- Reyk Horland, Vice President, TissUse GmbH
Presentations from academics and industry participants will highlight the emerging trends in this field as well as providing a path forward for technology and applications development. Agenda topics include:
- Brain/Neuron-on-a-Chip
- Challenges in the Development of Organs-on-Chips
- Construction of Organs-on-chips utilizing Microfluidics-based Approaches
- Disease-on-a-Chip
- Gut-on-a-Chip
- Heart-on-a-Chip
- Liver-on-a-Chip for Toxicity Screening/Toxicology Studies
- Lung-on-a-Chip
- Public and Private Efforts in the Development of Organs-on-Chips/Body-on-a-Chip
The full agenda can be viewed on SELECTBIO.com
Reduce preclinical failures with smarter off-target profiling
24 September 2025 | 15:00PM BST | FREE Webinar
Join this webinar to hear from Dr Emilie Desfosses as she shares insights into how in vitro and in silico methods can support more informed, human-relevant safety decisions -especially as ethical and regulatory changes continue to reshape preclinical research.
What you’ll learn:
- Approaches for prioritizing follow-up studies and refining risk mitigation strategies
- How to interpret hit profiles from binding and functional assays
- Strategies for identifying organ systems at risk based on target activity modulation
- How to use visualization tools to assess safety margins and compare compound profiles
Register Now – It’s Free!
As well as benefiting from a 3for2 offer on all passes, registered delegates will have access to an additional track, Stem Cells in Drug Discovery, where there will be even more talks, attendees and discussions.
SELECTBIO welcomes poster presentations as a means to disseminate the most cutting-edge work by researchers in this field.
