Description

ODTÜ MEMS, Eindhoven University of Technology and AZAR Innovations jointly organise two Organ on a chip MasterClasses in Turkey, one designed for biologists and one for bioengineers.

TARGET GROUP: Biomedical scientists from academia and industry from around the world who wish to get started or gain more experience with organ on chips.

Date MasterClass for biologists: 9-10 July 2024
Date MasterClass for bioengineers: 11-12 July 2024

Location: ODTÜ MEMS, Ankara, Turkey

GOAL: Help scientists adopt, develop or use organ on a chip assays more efficiently.

This MasterClass consists of:

1. VitroGo: interactive digital contents

• • What is Organ on a chip?
  • Why would you use organ on a chip?
  • What components does an organ on a chip system have?
  • What design types can you find?
  • How do you choose the closest organ on a chip system to your application?
  • Advantages and disadvantages of every design type.
  • How chips are made?
  • Preparing organ chips for cell culture.
  • Different flow systems, how to choose and run them.
  • Methods to extract data from organ on a chip system.
  • Resources to choose commercial organ on a chip systems
  • Go through a few examples.

2. Learn & Design

• • Step by step interactive lectures to design an organ on a chip assay
  • Use available tools on VitroGo to
    • Define context of use
    • Get inspired by available designs
    • Compere different designs
    • Design an organ on a chip assay

3. Hands-on lab training

• • Work with 3 different chip types
  • Work with 5 different flow systems (pumps)
  • Connect pumps to organ chips and other components
  • Learn about different protocols
  • Simulate cell seeding with microparticles
  • Use microscopy to observe organ chips

Trainers:

Dr. Hossein Eslami Amirabadi is a bioengineer with more than 10 years of experience developing organ on a chip systems for and with biologists. He is an instructor to biomedical scientists since 2015 in academia and industry. He has helped scientists to develop:

• • Intestinal transport on a chip
  • Intestine-microbiome on chip
  • Bone regeneration on chip
  • Metastasis to vascularized bone chip
  • Drug disposition gut-kidney-liver on chip
  • Cartilage organoid growth on chip
  • 3D breast tumor invasion on a chip
  • Osteochondral unit on a chip

and more!
