Join biologists, bioengineers, clinical researchers, and industry professionals in Belgrade on 28-29 October for a cutting-edge conference focused on the design of human-relevant disease models. This event will explore the in vitro engineering of tissues and tissue-cell interactions, offering insights into overcoming challenges in disease model manufacturing, characterisation, and benchmarking.
Attendees will also gain a deeper understanding of the critical role these models play in drug development, pre-clinical testing, and biomedical research. Whether you're working in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, or clinical research, this conference provides a unique opportunity to engage with the latest advancements and drive innovation in disease modelling and therapeutic discovery.
Alongside the Nature Conference is the AI 4 Life: Biotech Future Forum, now in its fourth year, taking place on October 27th. Hosted by the Government of Serbia and its Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and UNDP, the Forum serves as Serbia’s platform for innovation, uniting government, industry, academia, and the global community. Focused on AI and biotechnology, it explores how these technologies are shaping the future and driving progress.
