SelectBIO Sixth Annual Organ-on-a-Chip 2020
Virtual Conference 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 Co-Located and Concurrent Conference Tracks.
This conference will be held virtually in 2020 due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
