    Organ on a chip MasterClass by AZAR Innovations
    Average rating:

     by Dilara

    The masterclass was well-structured and covered a comprehensive range of topics, providing theoretical knowledge and practical insights into organ-on-a-chip technology. The lectures were engaging, and the hands-on sessions offered valuable practical experience. In just 2 days, we learned far more than expected. The masterclass was intensive and comprehensive, allowing even beginners to develop their own projects by the end of the course.

    Special thanks to Hossein and Oscar for their invaluable assistance throughout the masterclass. Their dedication and expertise made the learning experience exceptional. I highly recommend this masterclass to anyone interested in advancing their knowledge and skills in organ-on-a-chip technology!

    As a newcomer to the field of Organ-on-Chip (OoC) technology, I found the entire masterclass to be highly informative, instructive, and encouraging. Hossein and Oscar were exceptionally energetic and helpful throughout the program. The hands-on experience with various chip structures provided a valuable opportunity to deepen my understanding. Additionally, we had the chance to observe the use of different pumps, which was particularly enlightening. I feel fortunate to have participated in such an excellent masterclass and wholeheartedly recommend it.

    This was a great masterclass! It offered me an overview of the possibilities and limitations of OoC, for both commercial and non-commercial systems.
    The hands on lab sessions were a great way to get a feeling of working with the chips and pumps. The Organ on a Chip challenge helped us to really work out an idea and translate this to a OoC model.
    Hossein, Emre, Jianbo and Valentina were wonderfull, guiding you through the days and ready to answer your questions.

    Fantastic masterclass

    This masterclass was a great experience and a really great learning curve. It was the perfect mix of lectures, hands-on demonstrations and working in groups to design your own intestine-on-chip assay to implement everything we learnt over the few days we were there.

     by Oscar

    This was an amazing experience - couldn't reccomend enough. As someone still getting to grips with organ-on-a-chip, I left the class with both a lot more confidence and also a lot of ideas for my own work! Hossein and Emre did an amazing job in delivering a well-structured, comprehensive masterclass.

    Innovative

    Amazing experience, really makes you think about the OOC
    The people are very supportive and you can ask lot many
    Questions and they won't hesitate.

    Perfect for designing your own chip

    Hossein and Emre did a fantastic job in showing how to produce your very own microfluidic system.
    The workshop shows you what is already available and how to design your very own chip.
    In addition there is hands on experience which shows you how to work with these models and what difficulties you may encounter in your research.

    The workshop was highly informative, in depth and incredibly fun.
    Cannot recommend this enough if you want to learn about microfluidic systems.

     by Su

    Really nice workshop. Informative talks and lots of hand on practices. I would highly recommend this training for all PhD and master students.

    Inspiring Masterclass

    The intestine & intestine-microbiome organ on a chip masterclass was greatly helpful for beginners but also more experienced people in the field. Lectures were dynamic and providing all essential knowledge to work with this technology and the hands-on sessions allowed to practice with advices of experts. I highly recommend Azar innovations Masterclass for the quality of their expertise but also the kindness and generosity of the hosts.

    A well-thought-out interactive course

    The intestine & intestine-microbiome organ on a chip masterclass had a nice balance between lectures and hands-on sessions, allowing participants to not only learn the theory behind designing, manufacturing, and using microfluidic devices, but also to gain some practical experience. Designing a microfluidic chip for specific applications was also a great exercise that helped to consolidate all the knowledge gained during the masterclass. Highly recommended if you are interested in working with microfluidics.
