A Decade of Breakthroughs in Human Tissue Modeling for Drug Development
In 2023, MIMETAS will have her 10-year anniversary! To celebrate A Decade of Breakthroughs, we decided to transform our annual 3D-cember event into a much bigger celebration!
In the past decade, major advancements have been made in human relevant tissue models, such as the combination of iPSCs and organoids with complex 3D in vitro systems. MIMETAS believes that capturing the intricate processes of a disease is the key to understanding its underlying mechanisms to develop novel therapeutics for the unsolved diseases of today. Dissecting these processes through complex disease modeling can put compounds and targets in the right patient context. Establishing this context enables a more accurate prediction of a drug's clinical outcome, and increases the success rate of drug development.
With breakthroughs in the field expanding rapidly, we want to highlight the latest advancements in disease modeling for drug development yet. Join us this February 9th in our grow. Learn. Discover. anniversary event from the comfort of your (home) office or lab. Enjoy an inspiring scientific program, involving international key opinion leaders from pharma, biotech, and academia. Besides interesting lectures, the program includes a round table discussion addressing the question "In vitro models on the critical path towards new drugs. Quo vadis?'.
