Keynote 2 (14u45-15u30): Biological Barriers in Multiorgan Platforms: Advanced Strategies for Non-Invasive Real-Time Permeability Assessment – dr. Simone Perottoni (Politecnico Di Milano)
Round table discussion (15u30-16u30): ‘How to start using an organ-on-chip model for your research’
This round-table discussion is meant to foster an open, collaborative environment. During this session, each participant will have the opportunity to briefly present their research and to seek expert guidance on integrating organ-on-chip platforms into their projects. In addition to providing tailored scientific input, the discussion will offer participants valuable opportunities for direct interaction with experts and peers, thereby serving as an excellent networking forum.
