News & Events

The 4^th Life-on-Chip Conference, flanders.healthTech’s flagship event, will focus on cross-over innovations in Health. Testimonials of pioneering researchers, entrepreneurs and first application movers. Keynote lectures from industry leaders and academia on personalised medicine, digital medicine, value-based efficient healthcare and disruptive health solutions. Pitches, and matchmaking, all in one condensed program.

During this workshop, participants will learn more about the 'currently available NAMs and explore how regulatory application and acceptance of these tools can be accelerated by overcoming the most significant barriers to their implementation.'

The topics include:

• Research on atopic dermatitis – Are there alternatives to animal experiments?
• Drosophila models of chronic diseases of the lung – from asthma to lung cancer
• Bioprinting of human 3D lung models for the study of virus biology and inhibitors
• Mammary membrane fragments from milk samples as a tool for studying physiological properties of alveolar epithelial cells
• A rabbit is a horse is a human. At least in terms of intestinal epithelium
• Brachyspira virulence monitoring in porcine intestinal organoids

This conference will highlight recent developments in bioinformatics research, and showcase its impact in medical, agricultural, and biotechnological research. Several presentations will be given in the following plenary sessions:

• Image analysis
• Single cell analysis
• Proteomics and metabolomics
• Data integration

A poster session will also be organised. 

Deadline for abstract submission: 12 January, 2022

During this 1.5 days training, skin sensitization models such as the human Cell Line Activation Test (OECD TG 442E), LuSens and/or KeratinoSens (OECD 442D) and cell-based assays representing early key events of the skin sensitization process will be put in the spotlight. These tests can be used as part of a weight-of-evidence or Defined Approach to assess Skin Sensitization.

In the 2^nd International Akademie Fresenius Conference on active substances in PPPs, following topics will be discussed:

• Metabolites: testing and interpretation
• Cumulative assessment: criteria for grouping chemicals
• Evaluation of pesticides: historical control data
• Genotoxicity: aneugenicity
• New approach methodologies: read-across

This virtual course will teach you how to identify the challenges, strategies, and resources for multi-omics data integration using biological examples. 

The course will focus on the use of public data resources and open-access tools for enabling integrated working, with an emphasis on data visualisation.

During this event, participants will gain valuable information on the latest trends and technologies within and beyond the biochip community.

There will also be an array of scientific tracks that will cover diverse topics.
