News & Events

This workshop aims to clarify the ways to achieve regulatory acceptance of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) by addressing the major obstacles to their implementation. It will showcase how innovation can be turned into practical application, emphasizing the key success factors for NAMs validation. Furthermore, the workshop seeks to bridge the gap between NAMs developers, end-users, and regulatory bodies, fostering a collaborative environment to streamline the adoption of these advanced methodologies.

This symposium will focus on recent advances in bioengineering, in vitro BBB modeling and brain organoids. Keynote speakers of the day are Prof. Dr. Adrian Ranga (KU Leuven, BE) who will share methods for vascularizing cerebral organoids and Dr. Roberto Villaseñor Solorio (Roche, CH) who will share techniques to generate high throughput in vitro models of the BBB.

Registration link dropping soon.

This webinar will feature two presentations:

• Giulia De Negri Atanasio: “Evaluation of Physiological Repeated Exposure of Aluminium in a 3D Intestinal Tissue Model.” - ESTIV Best Oral Presentation award at ESTIV 2024
• Kim To: "DASS App v2.0: Implementing OECD Guideline No. 497 Updates" - PhD Posters Award at the ASCCT 13th Annual Meeting

Recordings and other materials from this webinar will be posted on the ASCCT webinar archive.

During this webinar, Prof. Peter Loskill will give a presentation on 'Organ-on-chip models integrating complex immunocompetent tissues for translational applications in immuno-oncology, (cardio)metabolic, and ophtalmology research'. He is Full Professor for Organ-on-Chip Research at the Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen and the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute, and head of the 3R-Center Tübingen for in vitro Models and Alternatives to Animal Testing.

This conference will discuss advancements in the field of organoids and the im is to create a platform for leaders in organoid research to discuss the advancements in 3D culture systems. If you want to submit a poster abstract, please ensure that the abstract includes the following: title, authors, affiliations, abstract body (up to 250 words). Please submit the abstract as PDF file (A4 format) and by email to caos2025@medicalschool-hamburg.de. Deadline is 10-01-2025.

Now in its third year: Simply the event for organoid and organ-on-a-chip researchers!
400 appx attendees, >30 leading researcher talks, 35 innovative technology booths and an optional third day of organoid and chip training too.
Tickets are heavily subsidised by WORC: The Organoid and Organ-on-a-chip Research Community: www.WORC.Community
All are welcome to FREE join WORC, who also invest back into research keeping science open and accessible to all.

The convention is an annual networking event that brings together Nordic and invited international experts to present their research and to discuss latest developments in the field of microphysiological systems, organoids and organ-on-chip technology. It will feature keynotes, project presentations, round table discussion and poster session.

Confirmed speakers:

• - Prof. Peter Loskill
• - Prof. Magadlena Lorenowicz
• - Dr. Stephan Krieg

The focus of the 3D T.I.S. is the use of complex 3D human tissue cultures for host-pathogen interaction research. The three-day symposium includes talks by distinguished national and international speakers. This symposium aims to provide a platform for early stage researchers as well as experienced scientists and professionals from academia and the pharmaceutical industry.

Deadline for abstract submission: 15/12/2024.
