News & Events

The 2020 ESB conference is organized by the Department of Chemistry, Materials and Chemical Engineering ‘Giulio Natta’ and the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of Politecnico di Milano in cooperation with the Italian Chapter of the ESB. The two organising Departments are also running a Doctorate course in Bioengineering, and their biomechanical activities are focused on in vitro and in silico experiments.

This workshop will bring together various stakeholders to share the latest advances on innovative methods in tumor immunology and other fields of biomedical research, and to discuss the future of non-animal models in biomedical research. You will be able to connect with people and reduce communication gaps, and help educate new generations and strengthen future bridges.

This conference will discuss the latest advances in bioinformatics, systems and computational biology and interrelated disciplines, as well as their applications in life sciences & health, agriculture, food & nutrition. 

The conference will be composed of keynote lectures, parallel sessions, poster sesions and demo sessions.

Deadline for abstracts submission: 03 May 2021

During this course, participants will learn hands-on how to do bioinformatics analysis and how to develop strategies to manage data. Additionally, they will learn about the available resources to support their work.

Deadline for registration: 26th March 2021

This meeting will present the state-of-art of predictive in vitro lung models which are designed for basic research, efficacy and toxicity testing as well as their future development.

This conference will offer three plenary lectures:

• "SARS-CoV-2 RBD In vitro evolution parrots and predicts contagious mutation spread" -Prof. Gideon Schreiber;
• "The use of fetal bovine serum in In vitro methods: Blessing or curse?" - Jan van der Valk, PhD;
• "In vitro cultured tissue-engineered product for skin regeneration – clinical applications" -Prof. Justyna Drukała.

During this event, participants will meet scientists, business leaders, ethicists, ... to address and discuss the key areas of stem cell research and its application. Theprogram is designed around five themes:

• Cellular identity;
• Clinical applications;
• Modeling development and disease;
• New technologies;
• Tissue stem cells and regeneration.

Deadline for abstracts submission: 14^th June 2021

The aim of this workshop is to outline key user criteria for organoid technologies in given areas of expertise to create a road map for  using and advancing organoid/body-on-a-Chip technologies for drug development and personalized medicine

The results will be published in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine.
