TARGET GROUP: Biologists and non-technical biomedical scientists at IRTA-CReSA.

AZAR Innovations organises an Organ-on-a-chip MasterClass at IRTA-CReSA with the following themes:

    • Pulmonary diseases
    • Liver Toxicity
  • Organs on chips are small medical devices in which researchers can grow living cells to model human organ functions.
  • Setting up and operating these small chips with a fluidic system around it requires learning basic principles of physical processes, tools and methods.
  • This is a MasterClass where biologists and non-technical users of these systems learn how to choose, set up and work with organ on chips.

This MasterClass consists of:

1. Lectures by AZAR Innovations

organ-on-a-chip MasterClass, Course, training, microphysiological systems, hands-on, lab, course, workshop, principles, theory

    • Organ-on-a-chip designs and configurations: helps participants choose or design an organ-on-a-chip system
    • Organ-on-a-chip components: enables participants independently choose and implement different components and modules in an organ-on-a-chip system
    • Organ-on-a-chip operation: simple but important know-hows about preparation, cell seeding, microfluidic theories and troubleshooting methods (e.g. bubbles and leakages)
    • Commercial Organ-on-chips: help participants choose the right system, organ-on-a-chip companies and resources
   

2. Hands-on lab sessions by AZAR Innovations

organ-on-a-chip MasterClass, Course, training, microphysiological systems, hands-on, lab, course, workshop, principles, theory, lab training, chips

    • Set up Organ on chips: learn about different perfusion technologies, learn how to connect different components, learn how to prepare chips and seed cells in the chips.
    • Operate Organ on chips: tips & tricks, must-know practical information, troubleshoot problems
