Watch a 57-minute keynote webinar presentation exploring the development and applications of multi-organ human-on-a-chip systems for drug discovery and toxicology research. Learn how these innovative systems address the critical gap between single-cell studies and animal/human testing, particularly for neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and Alzheimer's. Discover the integration of microsystems fabrication technology with biological components to create functional in vitro models of motor control, muscle function, myelination, cognitive function, and cardiac systems. Gain insights into the cultivation of adult rat, mouse, and human mammalian cells in serum-free medium and their potential applications in studying maturation, aging, neurodegeneration, and injury. Led by Dr. James J. Hickman, co-founder and Chief Scientist at Hesperos, Inc., this presentation includes a live Q&A session and showcases groundbreaking research in developing human mimics for product development and safety testing.
