ORGAN-ON-A-CHIP: MERGING MICROFABRICATION WITH TISSUE ENGINEERING
Peter Loskill, Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB, Stuttgart, GERMANY
Olivier Guenat, ARTOG Center, University of Bern, SWITZERLAND
Olivier Frey, InSphero AG, SWITZERLAND

Overview of Material to Be Covered and What Attendees Can Expect to Take Away From the Workshop:

• General concept of Organ-on-a-chip (Motivation, applications, challenges & limitations)
• Microfabrication and tissue engineering approaches to recapitulate microphysiological environments
• Emulation of physiological mechanical forces
• Multi-organ integration and application

Who Should Attend:
MSc and PhD students (and postdoctoral researchers) interested in biomicrofluidics in general and specifically in integrating tissue engineering approaches with microfabrication techniques.
