Focusing on «Organs-on-a-chip, organoids & other microphysiological systems as advanced human in vitro models», the event takes place on Thursday, November 7, 2019, in Strasbourg.

Thematically, the focus of this networking event is on present and future trends in the field of advanced human in vitro models, such as organ-on-a-chip approaches, organoid technologies as well as corresponding applications, e.g. in the area of early drug development. 10 presentations from researchers and industry will provide further insight into exciting research and development projects.
