Replace webinar series: Human metabolism – Combining in vitro and in silico models

11.00 – 12.00 (GMT)/12.00 – 13.00 (CET)

The third webinar in The Swedish 3Rs Center's 'Replace' webinar series focuses on combining on-chip data and computational modelling to predict clinical outcomes in drug development.

Speakers

Liisa Vilén – Director of Microphysiological Systems team at AstraZeneca

Liisa's team uses organ-on-chip technology to study cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases and to advance the development of future treatments.

Oscar Silfvergren – Industrial doctoral student at SUND sound medical decisions and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Linköping University

Oscar's work is focuses on developing computational models to understand organ-on-chip metabolism and translate that metabolism to humans.

About the webinar series

The 'Replace' webinars organised by The Swedish 3Rs Center highlight human-based models for better research and drug discovery, with a focus on organ-on-chip, organoids, predictive in vitro models and computational in silico approaches.

The series features speakers from academia, academic-industry collaborations and start ups. Scientists from across sectors and fields of research are welcome and early career researchers, including postdoctoral and doctoral students, are particularly encouraged to attend.
