Synopsis

Join us for Houston MPS Day, an Organ-Chip Innovation Showcase consisting of a full day of networking, learning, and collaboration with fellow researchers and Organ-Chip users. Whether you’re new to the technology or an experienced Organ-Chip afficionado, this is the perfect opportunity for you to better understand how the technology is being used today and how it’s poised to transform the future of drug discovery and development.

Key sessions at this event will dive into breakthrough research topics like:

  • Using Lung-Chips to model mechanisms of infectious disease such as COVID
  • Creating a neurovascular unit model to evaluate neurodegenerative disease pathological processes
  • Using Organ-Chips to assess CAR T trafficking and efficacy

You can also enhance your skills with hands-on Organ-Chip training guided by our scientific liaisons. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this groundbreaking movement in science!
