MPS World Summit 2023

Unilever SEAC scientists will be giving two poster presentations at the 2^nd MPS World Summit in Berlin (June 26-30, 2023) and have contributed to an oral presentation. Microphysiological systems (MPS) comprise a number of bioengineering breakthroughs that reproduce organ architecture and function in vitro. Fueled by stem-cell technologies, a broad variety of especially human models and test systems have emerged, which make relevant experimental tools broadly available through international and multidisciplinary collaborations. The conference brings together scientists representing different stakeholders such as developers, academics, downstream users who are looking to apply these models for efficacy and safety assessment, and regulators.
