Presentation Speaker

Explore 3D Cell & Organ Modelling 2024: Unlocking Future Insights in Organ-on-a-Chip, Tissue-on-a-Chip & Organoids 

Attended and convened by over 270 key leaders in Organ modelling, 3D cell culture and mimics, this event addresses an important and expanding field in drug development. Organ-on-a-Chip, Tissue-on-a-Chip & Organoids are remarkable tools with the potential that better predict drug efficacy and thereby reduce cost, time, and failure rates in clinical trials . Attendees will also benefit from insightful case studies exploring key trends and innovative technologies to accelerate the adoption of 3D models in preclinical research via advanced development, validation and application strategies. Featuring over 10 interactive panels and roundtables, experts will debate and discuss issues in overcoming challenges in low throughput, translation in the clinic, managing complexity, benefits and drawbacks, as well as barriers to adoption in cell culture & tissue mimics.

Please submit your poster presentation by no later than Friday 16th February 2024 in the below category:

  • Organ Modelling, Tissue Mimics, Microphysiological Systems and 3D Cell Culture​
  • Student (PhD), PostDoc or early career scientist under 35 years of age. Proof must be provided via an active student ID card or a copy of status
  • Applicants must be the first AND presenting author of the submitted paper and register for the meeting by Friday 16th February 2024
  • ONLY ONE YSA submission per person will be accepted. If authors submit multiple abstracts for consideration for the YSA, only one abstract will be taken into consideration for the YSA

Applicants must follow the procedure as follows:

  1. Register and submit an abstract by Friday 16th February 2024 using the registration link to the left on this page
  2. Once registered you will be provided with the online abstract submission form
  3. Prepare the poster or platform and present it (The poster presenter should be at the poster during all breaks.)
  4. The 3 winners with the highest scores will be announced at the Networking Drinks on the 18th March
  5. The winners’ 10-minute oral presentations will take place on the 19th March

The platform or poster presentation will be evaluated by senior scientists (consisting of our speaking and steering group committee for the Discovery series) on the basis of originality of the approach and quality of the work (e.g. appropriate methodology, interpretation of results, conclusiveness). All participants will receive the scoring and comments after the annual meeting via email.

The 2 winners receiving the highest scores will be announced at the Networking Drinks on the 18th March and will be given a trophy as well as £1,000 contribution towards travel costs. Oxford Global will also provide winners with Oxford Global PLUS Pass – 12 months access to Oxford Global Series events and PLUS Pass online platform.
