OverviewThe 2nd Annual Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress 2016
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.
Due to the Overlap of this Topic with 3D-Culture to create a physiologically-relevant milieu in which tissue architecture is preserved and functionality represents the in vivo
state, the co-located concurrent parallel conference track focuses on
this this topic plus presents the technologies for the construction and assembly of organs-on-chips, thereby offering complete coverage of these related
fields to the conference delegates.
The Two Conference Tracks are
Co-Located and Concurrent and Delegates can Network Extensively with
their Colleagues from Both the Conference Tracks.
All the Key
Opinion Leaders from around the World are Participating at this
Conference allowing Maximal Information Exchange and Unparalleled
Networking Opportunities.
Agenda Topics- 3D-Culture of Cells: Drivers and Approaches
- 3D-Microtissues
- iPSC-Derived Cells for Toxicity Screening/Testing
- Live Cell Imaging
- Organoid Assembly
- Screening Technologies, Instrumentation and Reagents
- Stem Cells for Toxicity Testing/Screening
