Winter School 2026: Organ on Chip - MicroPhysiological Systems

Scientific context

Microfluidic devices for cell culture are becoming increasingly important as alternatives to animal trials for fundamental biology studies and for evaluating drug candidates in predictive toxicology.

This Winter School in English is organized around lectures provided by French and Japanese experts, a mini-project, and hands-on practicals.

Organization of the Winter School

  • Microfabrication 

  • Microfluidics

  • 3D cell culture

  • Mathematical models

  • Applications in biology and toxicology

  • Regulatory issues

  • Clinical translation

Imagine the next generation of organ-on-a-chip in a multidisciplinary and international context (UTC engineers and Japanese students).

  • Biochip design

  • Fabrication

  • Flow and pressure measurements

  • Cell seeding and culture in biochips
