Evaluating New 3-D Systems for Disease Modeling, Drug Validation, and Toxicology

Wednesday, May 30, 2018 - 16:31

Cell and tissue-based models are a necessary step in the workflow for toxicology testing, drug discovery*, and disease modeling. In recent years, the research and pharmaceutical industries have adopted more complex ex vivo and in vitro 3-D tissue models because of their better predictive power. The first part of this webinar discusses the history of cell- and tissue-based models systems for toxicology, drug validation, and disease modeling. Particular emphasis will be placed on culture methods and optimization of stem cell-based models and 3-D cell culture systems, including organoids. The second half of the webinar introduces MimEX Tissue Model Systems, a transformative culturing platform that builds upon the...
