Held in conjunction with Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress 2019
14 Oct 2019, at 19:30-22:00 in Coronado Island, California
 Michael Shuler, Samuel B. Eckert Professor of Engineering, Cornell University; President Hesperos, Inc.
Course Venue: Marriott Coronado Island -- Coronado Room 4
Scope
This Training Course presented in tandem with the SelectBIO Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress 2019 provides an interactive presentation and discussion of the technology platforms, methodologies, as well as application areas in the exciting space that is created by the deployment of microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technologies for creating "organs-on-chips" (or sometimes referred to as "body-on-a-chip").
Referred to as "Microscale systems", there are several classes of organs-on-chips which have been built including:
Lung-on-a-Chip
Liver-on-a-Chip
Brain-on-a-Chip
Gut-on-a-Chip
Marrow-on-a-Chip
Nerve-on-a-Chip
Disease-on-a-Chip
Topics Addressed in this Training Course
Overview of the Opportunity: Why would Microscale Systems ("Organs-on-Chips") be Useful for Drug Development?
Physiologically-based Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Models as a Guide to Develop Model Systems (Microphysiological Systems)
Brief Overview of Microfluidics
Organ-on-a-Chip Systems: Concepts, Uses and Limitations plus Examples
Body-on-a-Chip (or Microphysiological Systems): Integrating Organs-on-a-Chip to build Surrogates for Drug Development
All Course Delegates Receive the Electronic Copies of the Presentations Plus Publications and Up-to-Date Reviews on this Field to Bring Back and Use as Reference Material for R&D Planning/Presentations, Business Plans and Investor Presentations. This course includes a networking reception for all delegates at the end of the course, and offers excellent discussion opportunities whereby delegates can explores the science as well as market opportunities in the organ-on-a-chip field.
The course tutor is Professor Mike Shuler, Samuel B. Eckert Professor of Engineering, Cornell University, President & CEO, Hesperos, Inc.
