News & Events

During this event, participants will meet scientists, business leaders, ethicists, ... to address and discuss the key areas of stem cell research and its application. Theprogram is designed around five themes:

• Cellular identity;
• Clinical applications;
• Modeling development and disease;
• New technologies;
• Tissue stem cells and regeneration.

Deadline for abstracts submission: 14^th June 2021

The keynote speakers are:

• Prof. Catherine Verfaillie, Leuven University - Multicellular 3D liver models based on hiPSC-derived liver cells
• Prof. Anne Marie Vinggard, Technical University of Denmark - Novel human pluripotent stem cell-based assays to predict developmental toxicity

More information and registration

The aim of this workshop is to outline key user criteria for organoid technologies in given areas of expertise to create a road map for  using and advancing organoid/body-on-a-Chip technologies for drug development and personalized medicine

The results will be published in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine. 

The MPS (Microphysiological Systems) World Summit will bring together a global audience compsed of various stakeholders governmental and academic institutions, research communities, industry, policy makers, and more to create a roadmap for MPS technologies.

A series of international conferences including two virtual events in the lead-up to the hybrid event in June 2022 is being organized. This conference is the first of the series.

Deadline for abstract submission: 14 May 2021

This webinar will present QSARs that can be used for predicting key TK parameters in mammals and demonstrate a new software for predicting in vitro biotransformation rates in mammals. The webinar is part of a 'series related to the advancement of toxicokinetics and bioaccumulation science to aid ecological and human health risk assessment'.

This virtual course will introduce participants to bioinformatics theories and best practices for analysis, data management and reproducibility. 

Deadline for registration: 13th April 2021

This conference will bring together researchers from academia, regulatory agencies and industry to discuss all areas of organs-on-chip ranging from stem cell technology, integration of sensors, fabrication of microfluidic systems and end-user applications.

This webinar will present a human-based in vitro system to assess cardiotoxicity in new drugs with a focus on cardiac contractility. The system was developed to address the 2013 InPulse CRACK IT Challenge.

The webinar is part of the CRACK IT 10-year anniversary celebrations.
