This summer school will explore the fascinating world of stem cells, regenerative medicine, and their applications in modern sciences. Students will engage in workshops, lectures, and lab sessions with experts in the field.

Course fee: €1000
Limited spots available
Deadline to register: June 9, 2025

The BaCell 3D conference serves as a dynamic platform for the convergence of pioneering minds in the field of organoid technologies, microphysiological systems, in vitro development and regeneration, disease modeling, and drug discovery. It will welcome not only the vast local organoid community but also enthusiasts and experts from around the world.

This event will bring together researchers, educators, and industry leaders to explore innovative approaches to the 3Rs in the field of neuroscience. Confirmed speakers include: Matthias Lütolf (IHB), Jens Kelm (PreComb Therapeutics), Johannes Bohacek (ETH), Anthony Laugeray (UniL), Andrea Campa (Die Tiertrainerin), Ellen Fritsche (SCATH), David Pamies (UniL), Alfred Früh (Uni Basel) and Benjamin Ineichen (UZH).

Registration Opens: September 1, 2024

Abstract Submission Deadline: 26th of April, 2025

This workshop will explore advanced methods in inhalation research. The program covers sessions on lung cell culture preparation and practical training with advanced exposure systems, including lung-on-chip technologies. For the laboratory sessions, demonstrations with hands-on or observer opportunities are offered.

During the conference, invited speakers from renowned institutions will shed light on emerging technologies and evidence-based practices, inspiring the conference participants to push the boundaries of innovation in engineering for the life sciences.

Target Audience: Scientists, engineers, scholars, researchers, and industry professionals.

Abstract Submissions are now open online via the registration website, following the submission guidelines.

Workshop No. 3 will feature both a scientific presentation and a career panel. To begin the event, Dr. Itzy Morales Pantoja will present recent advances in brain microphysiological systems that are reshaping how we model neurological function and disease. The second part of the workshop will be a career panel featuring representatives from academia, industry, government, and policy. Panelists will share their career journeys and discuss their current work.

In this interactive course at a beginning master level, you will learn the best practices of advanced in vitro models, including organoids and organs-on-a-chip. It aims to create awareness on the potential of human-based physiological models for human health research and replacement of animal testing. For this course you are required to upload a Motivation Letter and C.V.

Registration deadline: 27/06/2025.

The Summ3R School will be organised as a theoretical-pratical course focusing on the lastest advances in 3Rs research. The event is aimed at students who have completed a Master's degree or PhD students, working in relevant fields of basic, applied or translational research.

Registration fee includes: attendance to all the theoretical and pratical sessions, teaching materials (digital and paper copy), light lunch, social dinner, certificate of participation.
