Presenting our technology at the CSEM Next Gen OOC and Organoids workshop
It was a pleasure to showcase Galileo at Technopark Zurich as part of the “Next Gen Organ-on-Chip and Organoids” industry-oriented workshop, hosted by the CSEM. The event was a showcase of technology solutions for advanced cell culture techniques, known as “organ on chip”. This technology is aimed at better replicating the natural environment of cells grown on the microscale by adding and controlling physiological stimuli like fluid flow. Our Galileo flow sensor will help researchers control a wide range of physiologically relevant flow rates, representing very low interstitial flows to higher aortic flows, with precision and accuracy.
The workshop was a stimulating opportunity to discuss the ongoing challenges and most pressing needs in the field with key stakeholders, including developers, biotech, pharma and academia. A panel discussion on women’s health applications and underrepresented majorities completed the event. This provided an insightful spotlight on gender awareness and gave us tips on how we can all improve reporting standards such as noting the gender of cell lines.
All the exciting new and in-development technologies that were presented are on track to increase the physiological relevance of the cell culture microenvironment. We are proud to be part of efforts helping the field to advance alternative models to animal testing.
