JRC Conference on Organ-on-Chip: Putting Science into Standards
Mon Mar 29 11:17:12 CEST 2021
The Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) in collaboration with the European Standardization Organizations CEN and CENELEC organise the next edition of an annual conference on standardization of science, whose goal is to identify emerging science and technology areas that could benefit from standardization activities.
This year’s edition will be focusing on Organ-on-Chip (OoC) or Micro Physiological Systems (MPS), innovative devices that emulate human/animal biology and can reproduce one or more aspects of an organ’s functionality. Among other benefits, they can lead to better testing of drugs, reduce the cost of clinical trials, and replace animal testing for cosmetic products, banned in Europe since 2013.
This event aims to facilitate the exchange of views on the future development of this technology to identify how European standardization can support its safe, widescale deployment.
The event will be held on 28th April 2021 (14:00-17:00 CET) and 29th April 2021 (09:00-16:00 CET).
The programme of the event is available here.
Registration is open until 20 April 2021 here.
