Synopsis

Bethesda MPS Day is a one-day event intended for new and experienced users of Organ-on-a-Chip technology to come together, share ideas, and break new scientific ground. This event will feature a series of illuminating scientific sessions covering a broad range of topics, keynote presentations by leading researchers, panels hosted by experts, hands-on training sessions, and networking opportunities with peers. 

Though we would love everyone to attend the event in person, we understand that this may not be feasible, which is why we are also opening the event for virtual attendance.
