Sun’s out, grill’s on! ☀️🔥

This week, the µOrganoLab crew gathered for our annual summer #BBQ!
It was the perfect mix of chill, connection, team building, and char-grilled deliciousness! Here’s to good food, amazing people, and relaxing summer vibes! ☀️

Excited to welcome Teresa & Michael to the µOrganoLab team! 🙌 Teresa moves from #BrainOnChip to #LiverOnChip for her #PhD 🎓. Michael completed his Master's and stays on as an #Intern, working on chip #Engineering! ⚙️🔬 Glad to have you both with us! 🚀

Lisa-Marie Erlansdotter from @microorganolab.bsky.social presented her work on neuroinflammation-on-chip!

🎉 Excited for #BaCell3D 2025 in Basel 🇨🇭 tomorrow! Our team can’t wait to connect, share insights, and get inspired by cutting-edge 3D #CellCulture science! Interested in #OrganOnChip, #MicrophysiologicalSystems, #Cancer immunology, adaptive #ImmuneResponses, or #NeuronalNetworks? Come say hi! 👋

Looking back at the #MPSWorldSummit— 1,500 participants + 100 industry exhibitors highlighted the growth & energy of MPS & #OoC communities! We witnessed groundbreaking progress as the field evolves toward complex, human models fueled by strong collaboration across developers, industry & regulators!

It’s a wrap! Peter’s keynote concluded the scientific program of the #MPS World Summit, co-organized by #EUROoCS.
It’s been an incredible week, full of inspiring ideas & fresh perspectives—it’ll surely take a few days for everything to sink in.
Wishing all participants a relaxing weekend! 🙌🏻

Hard to believe it’s already the final day of the #MPS World Summit—don’t miss the closing #keynote by Peter Loskill at 1 PM! 🎙️ He’ll explore #OrganOnChips for translational applications in immuno-oncology, ophthalmology, & (cardio)metabolic research! Let’s end on a high note! 🙌 @plosk.bsky.social

After an epic Macro Party 🥳, we’re back for Day 3 at #MPSSummit!

🎙️ 12–12:20 PM | Hannah
🔗 Standardized Plug & Play Multi-Organ Chip to Study Interactions Between #Tumor & #LymphoidTissue

Is animal testing even needed anymore? Running tests on lab rats, mice and other species is an integral part of biomedical research. Now, some say artificial intelligence and other technologies could soon make the practice obsolete.

Founding Director Don Ingber spoke to @wbur.org about the implications of the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, the FDA’s plan to phase out animal testing, & what’s required to make that a reality. He discussed alternatives like Organ Chips & AI, & our Director of SynBio, Jenny Tam, spoke about organoids.

⏳Just a few more days until this year’s #MPSWorldSummit kicks off! 🙌 Our team’s ready to share our latest achievements, (re)connect with esteemed colleagues & explore the latest scientific advancements in #OrganOnChip & #MicrophysiologicalSystems! 🚀 Check out our contributions & see you in Brussels!

We are thankful to the reviewers of #Transcan-3, for choosing our project as one of only 15 funded ones in this European-wide call. Learn more about the project: transcan.eu/output-resul...

Exciting new #oncology project incoming! Together w/ the teams of @lderooij.bsky.social @cemm.oeaw.ac.at and Stefan Krauss @uio.no, we will use our #tumor-on-chip to study the #TME, particularly #microvasculature, and assess personalised #treatment options #OrganOnChip #NAM #PersonlisedMedicine

🚀 Kick-off: Thymus-on-Chip #EUROSTARS Project!
Together with Genewity B.V. & PyroScience GmbH, we’re developing the world’s first #Thymus-on-chip platform — paving the way for more effective #CellTherapies, #DrugTesting, & #BiomedicalResearch!💉💊 Excited to push boundaries with this fantastic team! 🚀
