Join a pioneering conference focused on the development of human-relevant in vitro disease models. The program brings together leading biologists, bioengineers, clinical researchers, computational researchers and industry experts to explore two key areas: in vitro engineering of human tissues and tissue-cell interaction modelling. It will address critical challenges in disease model manufacturing, characterization methods, and benchmarking protocols.
Sessions will examine how these in vitro disease models can support drug development, pre-clinical testing and inclusive biomedical research. This conference offers valuable insights for professionals across biotechnology, pharmaceutical development, and clinical research sectors, providing a platform to engage with cutting-edge innovations in disease modeling and therapeutic discovery.
Serving as a companion event, you are also invited to join the fourth version of The AI 4 Life: Biotech Future Forum on October 27th. Centered on artificial intelligence and biotechnology, this forum explores the transformative impact of these fields on future developments and scientific advancements. Led by Serbia's Government and its Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in partnership with the World Economic Forum and UNDP, it brings together diverse stakeholders from governmental bodies, industrial sectors, academic institutions, and international participants
