Towards Organs-on-Chip for Drug Testing, Mechanistic Studies, and Personalized Medicine by Selective Assembly of Primary Cells Enabled by Dielectrophoresis in Microfluidic DevicesTuesday, 5 April 2016 at 09:45 Add to Calendar ▼2016-04-05 09:45:002016-04-05 10:45:00Europe/LondonTowards Organs-on-Chip for Drug Testing, Mechanistic Studies, and Personalized Medicine by Selective Assembly of Primary Cells Enabled by Dielectrophoresis in Microfluidic DevicesOrgan-on-a-Chip Europe 2016 in Cambridge, UKCambridge, UKSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com Organs-on-chip are envisioned to provide in vivo-like results in preclinical drug testing by establishing cell cultures mimicking the smallest functional units of an organ. A brief review of prominent international projects will be given. Secondly, we will report on our organs-on-chip technology based on combining microfluidics and dielectrophoresis (DEP) to assemble primary human cells and enabling the automated in vitro construction of micro-organs mimicking the in vivo structure of organs. |
