Medical Technology: the application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures and systems developed to solve a health challenge and improve overall quality of life
With an increasing push to improve safety, efficacy, and efficiency throughout the drug development pipeline, researchers are evermore looking to improve the predictive capacity of their in...
The liver plays a critical role in the metabolism and clearance of more than 70% of marketed drugs. Furthermore, toxicity to the liver is a major reason for preclinical and clinical drug fai...
“The poor translatability of early-stage preclinical models is a major setback in oncology drug development. Immortalized cell lines, that are extensively used in drug screens, undergo...
Misfolded and accumulated neurodegenerative disease associated proteins (NDAPs, such as tau and alpha-synuclein) represent the major pathological hallmark in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson&...
Biomarkers are critical tools for all stages of cancer research, from drug development through clinical applications. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of unregulated cell growth and circumv...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common form of chronic liver disease in developed countries, and it affects over 25% of the population worldwide. Within the next five y...
Accurate DNA replication is essential to transmit the genetic information from one generation to another. However, replication is frequently challenged by barriers that originate from exogen...
The use of primary cells in vitro is compromised by the limited quantity of cells that can be isolated from one donor, a lack of or very restricted proliferation capacity (e.g. hepatocytes)...
The OrganoPlate is a microtiterplate based Organ-on-a-Chip platform for high throughput drug safety and efficacy screening. It contains up to 96 cell culture chambers that allow co-culture o...
The aim of the lecture is to give an insight into the use of 3D liver micro tissues (3D liMTs) in drug discovery and translational safety. In translational toxicology, 3D LiMTs have a high i...
Normal behavior in any moving animal, including humans, relies on communication between motor systems that control movements, and the sensory systems we use to guide these actions. A critica...
The study of biological function in intact organisms and the development of targeted cellular therapeutics necessitate methods to image and control cellular function in vivo. Technologies su...
Microphysiological systems (MPS), also known as organ-on-chips, are small scale in vitro cell cultures which mimic facets of tissue or organ level function. MPS frequently utilise primary hu...
