Replace webinar series: Human in vitro intestinal models

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

The second webinar in The Swedish 3Rs Center's 'Replace' webinar series focuses on intestinal permeability models and stem-cell derived intestinal organoids.

Speakers

Maria Karlgren – Associate Professor in Molecular Biopharmaceutics at the Department of Pharmacy at Uppsala University

Maria develops predictive in vitro models, for example in intestinal permeability, for more human-relevant drug discovery and research. She combines her models with completely animal-free media.

Maria Letizia Di Martino – Senior Researcher at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology at Uppsala University

Maria works in Mikael Sellin’s lab, where she leads research on stem cell-derived intestinal organoid models and bacterial genetics to investigate host-pathogen interactions.

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.
