• Basic theoretical knowledge confocal microscopy is a must.

HANDS-ON TRAINING MODULES

Day 1 and Day 2 (29 – 30 January 2024)

We bring you into the technological world of microfluidics with Organ-on-chips. These little devices also called OOCs are an amalgamation of engineering and biology with the ability to recapitulate the functionality of an organ by mimicking the mechanical forces experienced by cells and interaction with other cells and their environment. In OOCs, there is a constant exchange of gases and nutrients and also a possibility of developing gradients of chemical cues for cells.

This hands-on training session will be conducted by experts from Azar Innovations from Netherlands with their exclusive 2-day masterclass! By the end of this masterclass you will be equipped with all the necessary knowledge and skills to create your own Organ-on-chip device!

Check our their website below!

We begin the second day by gaining a deep understanding of in vitro respiratory toxicology with the highly regarded Dr. Clive Roper, Director of Roper Toxicology Consulting!

Day 3 (31st January 2024)

3D bioprinting

3D bioprinting combines the engineering genius of 3D printing and the potential of biological sciences, to print complex, functional tissue and organ systems using building blocks like cells. 3D bioprinting is the next big thing with huge applications in organ transplantation, personlized medicine and the treatment of various medical conditions. The skills required to successfully bioprint are in great demand in the fields of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.
Do not miss this chance upgrade your skill set with a highly sought after skill!

Organoid development

Organoids are three-dimensional miniaturized replicas of human organs or tissues that can be grown in vitro from stem cells or tissue-specific cells. They have gained significant importance in the fields of biology, medicine, and drug discovery due to their ability to mimic the structure and function of real organs.
