Putting Science into Standards - Workshop - Organ on Chip: Towards Standardization

Registration is open now! Putting Science into Standards (#PSIS) - Workshop ‘Organ on Chip: Towards Standardization’ on 28-29 April 2021.

The PSIS initiative aims to facilitate the identification of emerging science and technology areas that could benefit from standardization activities to enable innovation and promote industrial competitiveness.

The 2021 PSIS edition will be focusing on Organ-on-Chip (OoC) or Micro Physiological Systems (MPS), innovative devices that emulate human/animal biology and can reproduce one or more aspects of an organ’s functionality.

This event aims to facilitate the exchange of views on the future development of this technology, its application areas and stakeholder needs in order to identify how European standardization can support its safe, widescale deployment, and by doing so also:

• Facilitate their implementation in the current and future regulatory framework;
• Support with reliable methods that are even more critical for use of OoC in emergency situations, when drug/vaccine development and testing procedures are necessary, as in the current COVID-19 drug rush;
• Strengthen Europe’s position as the leader in the promotion of more ethical use of animals in testing;
• Help European OoC start-ups to increase their reliability and their market share.
