News & Events

3 Sessions on 'Organ-on-a-Chip' will be organized online. All registrants will have access to the presentations from 29/06 until 19/07, and be able to submit questions for the speakers. The topics are:

• Translational criteria and expectations
• Bioengineering perspective
• End user’s perspective

Experts will review the current state of the art, bottle necks and future directions of this game changer.

The conference offers several mini-symposia, sessions, workshops and presentations on cutting-edge research and innovative technologies in biomedical, medical and biological engineering.

The topics covered include: (i) Micro/Nano-bioengineering; Cellular/Tissue Engineering & Biomaterials, (ii) Computational systems & synthetic Biology; Multiscale modelling, (iii) Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems Engineering, ...

During practical training organized by EPAA, participants will acquire experience on how to use a Defined Approach and NAMs for skin sensitisation in regulatory decision-making. Several case studies from different sectors (Cosmetics, Fragrances, Agrochemicals and Chemicals) will be presented.

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.
