OverviewThe Second 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 and Stem Cells in Drug
Discovery, the co-located concurrent parallel conference track focuses
on this this topic 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.
