Replace webinar series: Human in vitro oral cavity and liver models

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

The final webinar in The Swedish 3Rs Center's 'Replace' webinar series focuses on bioengineering of human tissues, including oral-cancer-on-chip and liver-on-chip.

Speakers

Pierfrancesco Pagella – Associate Professor at the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology at Linköping University

Pierfrancesco's research focuses on generating bio-engineered 3D human organs and exploring mechanisms behind organ and cell diversity. His main research models are teeth, cancers of the oral cavity and trigeminal innervation.

Caroline Beck Adiels – Associate Professor at the Department of Physics at Göteborg University

Caroline's research focuses on microfluidics-based technology for biological and life science-oriented applications and development of organ-on-chip technology for tissue formation and downstream drug screening processes. She uses long-term microscopy and AI to extract maximum information from cell cultures.

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.
