Join Curi Bio at Pharma R & D Week June 15-17, 2021.
You’re invited to our presentation on Wednesday, June 16 at 11:05 am–11:25 am (followed by 20 minute panel discussion with other Track speakers), titled: “High-throughput 3D Organ-on-chip Contractility Assays for Discovery of Novel Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Therapies.”
Presentation Abstract
Cardiac and skeletal muscle diseases are difficult to model in either in vitro or in animals. Bioengineered organs-on-chips based on human iPSCs can address this gap. However, these biologically complex systems require extensive expertise and lack the throughput necessary for therapeutics discovery. We have developed a novel 3D platform that combines robotically assisted organoid fabrication with highly-parallel contractility detection approaches to measure organoid contractility and provide relevant human preclinical data.
About Pharma R&D Week
Over the last year, we have seen pharma innovation advance at an incredible pace to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. As the need for improved productivity and efficiency in drug and biomedical R&D intensifies, pharmaceutical companies carefully choose their investment in technology innovation. Pharma R&D Week brings together thought leaders in biopharma R&D to discuss disruptive technologies and novel platforms, as well as strategies to cut costs and increase productivity. Building on the legacy of Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 19th Annual World Preclinical Congress and 16th Annual Biomarker World Congress, Pharma R&D Week brings the latest technologies in translational biomarkers, liquid biopsy, immuno-oncology biomarkers, predictive preclinical models and 3-dimensional cell models, target discovery and validation, and phenotypic screening. Join us for special sessions on big pharma’s response to COVID-19, AI and digital health innovation, and precision medicine. The comprehensive 3-day program—packed with pharma and technology presentations, interactive panel discussions, and visionary keynotes—is designed to maximize collaboration and innovation. Our virtual platform provides seamless access to presentations and panel discussions, facilitated roundtables, virtual exhibit hall, one-on-one networking, and post-conference on-demand viewing… all without leaving your computer.
