On January 25th, the 2024 EUROoCS digital lecture series will kick off with a lecture by Dr. Alexander S. Mosig about ‘Organ-on-chip to dissect host-pathogen interaction’.
Dr. Mosig is affiliated with both the Institute of Biochemistry II, Center for Sepsis Control and Care, Jena University Hospital, Jena, Germany and the Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Jena, Germany.
Alexander Mosig studied Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and obtained his PhD in Cell Biology from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. He is the independent research group leader of the INSPIRE lab at the Center for Sepsis Control and Care of the Jena University Hospital, focusing on studies on the orchestration of the human immune response by the microbiota in organ-specific environments. He is interested in mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction and its regulation by microbiota-associated metabolites in the context of dysbiosis and acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. An important topic of his work is developing and applying novel microphysiological systems to study these processes in vitro.
Dr. Mosig studies host-microbiota interactions and the human cellular immune response to infections and inflammations, utilizing innovative organ-on-chip systems. This work includes an exploration of the plasticity of myeloid cells and regulating tissue-specific immunological niches during disease progression. A significant aspect of his research involves developing microphysiological model systems for replicating specific human organ functions in vitro, focusing on immune responses to various pathologies, including viral and bacterial infections and inflammation-related disorders. The team led by Dr. Mosig employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and bioengineering.

Researchers from the Centre of Excellence in Body-on Chip Research at Tampere University (Finland) have published a review regarding designing microphysiological systems for cardiac modelling. The review is titled ‘Building blocks of microphysiological system to model physiology and pathophysiology of human heart’.
The centre focuses on modelling of hypoxia in cardiac ischemia, brain stroke and obesity related conditions. Developing chip platforms and monitoring technologies for controlling and monitoring oxygen as well as hydrogel development are also the core actions of the centre.

On 28 February 2023, the newly established EMA Joint CHMP/CVMP 3Rs Working Party (3RsWP) hosted a virtual public session that was broadcast and open to all stakeholders. The aim of this public session was to present the 3RsWP work plan and priorities for 2023. In addition, an opportunity was provided to stakeholders to comment and provide their views on the working party’s activities. This report provides a summary of the topics discussed during the public session, including the input received from the stakeholders during the interactive SLIDO session.

On May 4th and 5th, 2023, the Italian Organ-on-Chip Society (SIOoC) will organize its first National Congress. The event will be held at the National Research Council premises in Rome, with an expected participation of more than 110 delegates from across the Country.
The 2-day event will offer 7 scientific thematic sessions, each with an invited keynote speaker, as well as rapid-fire presentations dedicated to poster presentations from young researchers.
Italian researchers, pharmaceutical, biotech and technological companies, as well as representatives of the regulatory agencies, will discuss in a dedicated round table the opportunities and perspective of the OoC field in Italy, and its positioning in the value chain from research to clinics.
All members of EUROoCS have received their membership invoice for 2023, on February 1st and reminders on Feb 27th and March 28th.
If you have not paid your membership fee 2023 – now is the last chance to pay! On May 15th 2023, the memberships for which no payment is received will be removed. These memberships will be terminated.
When you have paid the invoice, the proof of payment can be found in your personal membership profile under the tab “invoices”. In case you paid by the provided link this proof of payment will soon be visible, if you have done a bank transfer it will take more time to be visible.
Learn About the ISSCR’s Recommendations to Improve Rigor and Reproducibility in Stem Cell Research via the On-Demand Webinar.
View the Free, On-Demand Webinar to review the updated draft of the ISSCR’s quality standards and core principles for the laboratory culture and characterization of both adult and pluripotent human stem cells and in vitro model systems using them.
These practical standards can set researchers up for success, enhance rigor in preclinical research, and ultimately strengthen the pipeline of therapies for patients.
