Organ-on-Chip Workshop & Lecture Series – TU Dresden

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming Organ-on-Chip workshop and lecture series at TU Dresden.

When: Thursday, 16 October 2025

Location: CRTD, Fetscherstr. 105

Workshop Location – Meeting Room Ground Floor North – Room 0.212

Lecture Location – Auditorium Right Ground Floor – Room 0.316

The event will feature:

• Hands-on sessions (1 hour, max. 7 participants each) on chip handling, cell loading, and perfusion setup
• Informational lectures introducing organ-on-chip applications in research and industry

Spots for the hands-on sessions are limited. Please book early using this form.

Lecture schedule:

13:15 – 14:15

Joanna Nowacka: “How to start with organ-on-chip? “

Are you considering organ-on-chip for your research but concerned about complexity or time to adoption? This lecture provides a practical, step-by-step guide to developing your own organ model in the lab. Establishing a new method takes effort, but by starting simple and adding complexity gradually, organ-on-chip can be integrated as feasibly as any other technology. We’ll outline the essential first steps to help you build your own model from scratch.

14:45 – 15:45
Tim Kaden: “Real-World Organ-on-Chip Applications: Modeling Human Biology for Disease and Therapy Research”

This lecture will explore how the Dynamic42 organ-on-chip platform can replicate human biology to provide more physiological models to investigate relevant diseases, microbial infections, and drug-induced toxicity. Through these examples, we will illustrate how organ-on-chip technology will enhance our understanding of biological processes and can serve as a powerful preclinical tool for improved clinical translation.

We look forward to welcoming you at TUD!
