Organ-on-a-Chip: Current Gaps and Future Directions
2 December 2019 GSK’s Medicines Research Centre, Stevenage, UK Abstract deadline: 2 October 2019. Earlybird registration deadline: 2 October 2019. Organ-on-a-Chip is a hot topic and one of keen interest to many scientists working in translational sciences. Whilst the technology is still in its infancy, Organ-on-a-Chip is expected to deliver game changing solutions and progressively increase our capacity to gain greater insight into mechanisms of human disease, toxicity and early efficacy assessment of new therapies. There are many Organ-on-a-Chip start-ups that have developed within academic institutions and are now attracting interest and financial investment. This conference will review where the current state of the art is, and where the bottle necks and future directions lay. Participants attending this event will benefit from hearing a candid and critical perspective on the technology by leading academics, end users, regulators and manufacturers, and determine if the technology is currently able to replace more conventional approaches and, if not, where the remaining gaps are. Anyone from the scientific community who is either already working in this area of complex in vitro systems or who is interested in learning more is encouraged to attend this conference and explore this new exciting and promising area of research. The opportunity to present your poster will be available at this meeting. All attendees, particularly researchers in the early stages of their career, are invited to submit a poster abstract for consideration to participate in the poster session. You can submit your abstract here. Programme Coordinators: Augustin Amour, GSK There are a variety of bursaries available for this meeting. Click here to find out more.
