Postdoc Days: Advancing Human-Relevant Research
On September 22nd, 23rd and 24th 2026 the fifth Postdoc Days take place at the University of Tübingen for postdocs, junior research group leaders and junior professors. At the event participants are invited to learn about the various supporting structures at the University of Tübingen, get specific and condensed information on individual topics of the postdoc phase and met with other postdocs.
To achieve this, the Graduate Academy and the Research Funding Office, in cooperation with the faculties and central supporting structures, will put together a diverse program with virtual and in-person meetings.
We’ll be presenting a talk:
Dr. Fulya Ersoy will introduce the 3R–Center Tübingen. The 3R Center is an interdisciplinary research center of the University of Tübingen and the NMI Reutlingen, which is dedicated to the development and application of human-relevant in- vitro models likeMicrophysiological systems (MPS). MPS are innovative, miniaturized in vitro models that replicate key structural and functional aspects of human organs. By recreating organ-specific microenvironments, these systems enable more realistic investigations of complex biological processes and human physiology. MPS allow researchers to study physiological and pathophysiological conditions and to assess the effects of stimuli such as pathogens, therapeutics, chemicals, and environmental toxins in human-relevant models. They serve as valuable alternatives and complements to conventional animal models, offering new opportunities for biomedical research. This lecture will introduce organ-on-chip systems, and highlight their applications and potential for advancing more human-relevant research.
