Symposium “Investigating metabolism in organ-on-chip models”
hDMT-UMD SYMPOSIUM
Joint hDMT-UMD symposium about the integration of metabolism & Organ-on-Chip models.
When: Wednesday April 13, 2022
Location: Radboudumc, Nijmegen
Time: 10 am – 3 pm
Participation is for free, but registration is required. Please register for the meeting by sending an email to e.thomassen@hdmt.technology at the latest on April 6, 2022. Details on the location will follow upon registration.
Stem cell models offer a promising perspective to study the tissue-specific pathophysiology of Inborn Metabolic Disorders and novel treatments. At the same time, metabolism is an important factor to consider when optimizing Organ-on-Chip models. Analysis of metabolites and understanding metabolism in such models is still a challenge that needs to be tackled. In this symposium, we will discuss advances in stem cell models and metabolism and how they can be integrated.
PROGRAM
Keynote Speakers:
Andries van der Meer (UTwente):
‘Organs-on-Chips: dynamic in vitro models’
