The 3R-Center Tübingen is organizing the second Organ-on-Chip Summer School in collaboration with the Working Group “Teaching & Training” of the European Organ-on-Chip Society (EUROoCS).
The 5-day training course takes place from September 02nd – 06th, 2024 in Tübingen and features both lectures and laboratory hands-on sessions. In this interdisciplinary format, the participants will learn the underlying concepts and principles of Organ-on-Chip technology. The Summer School targets M.Sc., MD and PhD students that are beginning their research in the fascinating interdisciplinary field of Organ-on-Chip. Professionals from industry who want to learn about the basics and practice hands-on in lab are also welcome.
