Washington, DC

Synopsis

Meet Emulate at MPS 2026 – Booth #321

Emulate is proud to be a sustaining Gold Sponsor of the MPS World Summit! As a premier forum for advancing human-relevant models and next-generation biomedical research, the summit brings together leading researchers, industry innovators, and regulatory stakeholders to shape the future of Microphysiological Systems (MPS) technologies.

What to expect:

  • Live Demos: Stop by the Emulate Booth #321 to learn more about our innovative Organ-on-a-Chip platforms, including the AVA™ Emulation System and Zoë-CM2® Culture Module. Our team will be on-site to lead hands-on demonstrations of how these technologies enable more predictive, human-relevant insights for drug development and biomedical research.
  • Scientific Leadership: Emulate’s CSO, Lorna Ewart, PhD, is serving as co-chair of the 2026 Program Committee to help guide the scientific agenda and foster continued growth across the field. We look forward to connecting with partners and peers to advance the adoption and impact of MPS technologies worldwide.
  • Expert Collaboration: With Organ-on-a-Chip platforms and other MPS approaches continuing to gain global momentum, this meeting serves as a critical platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and progress toward more predictive and human-relevant preclinical models.
