News & Events

These webinars will discuss the use of innovative model systems like the "Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Models" for disease modelling and drug screening of COVID-19. The further use of these novel approaches in reducing the use of some animal tests in vaccine trials will also be discussed.

The International Conference on the Virtual Physiological Human (VPH) will debate the future of in silico medicine.

Sessions are:

• Fundamental modeling: muscles; hemodynamics..
• Methodologies: meta & multiscale modeling; big data..
• Experiments meet modeling: cells; soft tissues; bones..
• Clinical applications: cardiovascular; cancer; lungs..

The International School on In Silico Trials offers a three-day intensive school on the use and further adoption of these new technologies. Modelling and simulation techniques can be used in safety testing, but medical industries,research hospitals, and regulatory agencies are not trained on the use of these emerging technologies. This school is organized as a SWOT analysis, and will discuss the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.

This event focuses on an important and expanding field wherein cells are being assembled using Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip technologies in a functionally-relevant manner. These clusters of "assembled cells" have functional significance and can mimic in vivo organ structure. A number of chips such Lung-on-a-Chip, Brain-on-a-Chip, Nerve-on-a-Chip,.. amongst others have been built and will be presented and explored at this conference. 

Knowledge For Growth is Europe's finest life sciences conference. The conference features an exciting programme providing vital insight into the global life sciences’ landscape, one-to-one Partnering, a trade fair with 100+ exhibitors and a scientific poster area.

Join this free webinar on the role of in vitro and in silico methodologies in COVID-19 research:

• Can NAMs serve as door-openers for drugs and vaccines or is it the other way around?
• Studying the interaction between coronavirus spike protein and human target receptors using 3D in silico modelling: could anthraquinone compounds prevent the interaction?

Registration is mandatory.

This meeting will focus on predictive in vitro lung models designed for basic research, efficacy and toxicity testing. It aims to present the state-of-art of in vitro lung models, and to map out the route for its future development and use. The program includes:

Modeling COPD/Asthma/IPF and CF in vitro, 
Infectious diseases,
Lung cancer,
Inhalation toxicity testing,
Exposure devices,
Chips and interconnections
 

This event will offer a platform for discussions and hands-on training for scientists working with the zebrafish model. 

More details on the programme will be available soon.
