The International Scientific Committee for WC11 has been formed and had its first brainstorm meeting just before Christmas last year. The four themes Safety, Disease, Innovative technologies and Ethics, welfare and regulatory affairs were discussed, resulting in an extensive list of topics per theme. Among the many topics are (multi-)organ-on-chip, the virtual human, stem cell technology and tissue engineering, responsible research, medical devices, vaccine testing, new generation disease models, computational toxicology as well as training and community building, regulatory issues, ethics and animal welfare and many more.
