SelectBIO Organ-on-a-Chip & Tissue-on-a-Chip Europe 2019 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.

The EUROoC conference series aims to gather the research leaders in the emerging field organs-on-chip (OoC) with a special focus on young and upcoming scientists.

The symposium aims at bringing together world-leading experts in the fields of mechanobiology, cell biology and developmental biology studying the mechanical basis of cell and tissue morphogenesis.

The purpose of NoOC symposium is to bring together leading scientists and research groups of organ on chip -research field across Nordic countries.

The goal of this Cell Symposium is to bring scientists studying organoids and organ engineering together with bioengineers to discuss the exciting opportunities and challenges for engineering complexity in higher-order organ-like systems and to foster collaborations and synergize efforts toward generating cellular platforms that can address a myriad of unmet needs.

Annual congress of the European Society for Artificial Organs.

3D in-vitro models and organ-on-a-chip technologies are paving the way to the next revolution in drug discovery and predictive medicine. Learn more about these technologies and how they are used by pharma leaders.

The forum will focus on the preparation of microphysiological systems in a microenvironment for boosting the relevance of in-vitro assays towards in-vivo outcome. This includes developments related to organ or model organism on a chip, droplet microfluidics or bioprinting. Newest technological developments and critical insights from the end users will come together at this forum. 

EUROoCS will be presented at the booth of hDMT/Leiden University Medical Center, and the lecture on Organ-on-Chip in Europe.

In 2019 EUSAAT will hold its 22nd European Congress on Alternatives to Animal Testing and 19th Annual Conference on 10 – 13 October 2019 at the University of Linz, Austria.

This congress provides an opportunity to share scientific experience on alternatives to animal use in the life sciences, to get updated on the EU 3Rs policy and to discuss new concepts of implementing the 3Rs in academic education at the European and the international level.

SelectBIO Fifth Annual Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress 2019 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.

All the Key Opinion Leaders from around the World are Participating at this Conference allowing Maximal Information Exchange and Unparalleled Networking Opportunities. Additionally, companies in the field showcase their technologies and product offerings at this conference.

This two day EC workshop, covering smart systems across Key Digital Technologies, with an emphasis on bio-electronics, bio-photonics and flexible and wearable electronics, will raise their importance and role in addressing European competitiveness and major societal challenges and link the area with current technology and policy trends.

The 23rd International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences (µTAS 2019).

EPAA Annual Conference: “Building confidence for the use of 3Rs”

The Dutch Transition Program for Innovative animal-free research (TPI) invites scientists, entrepreneurs, research funders, regulators and policymakers, to share their innovative practices and policies that can improve human health and safety whilst making animal testing redundant.

Organ-on-Chip is a hot topic and one of keen interest to many scientists working in translational sciences. This conference will review where the current state of the art is, and where the bottle necks and future directions lay.
