OverviewSelectBIO Fifth Annual Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress 2019
focuses on an important and expanding field wherein cells are being
assembled using Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip technologies in a
functionally-relevant manner. These clusters of "assembled cells" have
functional significance and can mimic in vivo organ structure. Liver
cells assembled on-board chips in a physiologically-relevant
architecture using microfluidics can, for instance, be utilized for
toxicity screening and the ability to assemble organ fragments ex vivo
can provide an exquisite means to reconstruct biological processes
(both physiological and pathological) "in a dish" or "on a chip." A
number of chips such Lung-on-a-Chip, Brain-on-a-Chip, Gut-on-a-Chip,
Marrow-on-a-Chip, Bone-on-a-Chip, Nerve-on-a-Chip amongst others have
been built and will be presented and explored at this conference. We
will also focus on "disease-on-a-chip", cancer-on-a-chip, immune
system-on-a-chip. The Conference Tracks are Co-Located and Concurrent and
Delegates can
Participate, Mix-and-Match Presentations and Network Extensively with
their Colleagues from all 3 Conference Tracks. The Exhibit hall is also
co-located and accessible by delegates from all 3 conference tracks. Co-Located, Concurrent Conference Tracks:
- Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress 2019
- 3D-Culture and Organoids 2019
- Stem Cells for Drug Discovery and Tox Screening 2019
- 3D-Printing in the Life Sciences 2019
- The Space Summit 2019
All
the Key Opinion Leaders from around the World are Participating at this
Conference allowing Maximal Information Exchange and Unparalleled
Networking Opportunities. Additionally, companies in the field showcase their technologies and product offerings at this conference.
