TissUse Head of BD to lead talk on the impact of Multi-organ-chip technologies on drug discovery.

LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITE, January 31, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TissUse, leading pioneers of the Multi-Organ-Chip technology, will be joining the expert speaker lineup for SMi Group's exclusive conference on Drug Discovery. The event will be launched on the 27th and 28th of April 2017 in London.

TissUse’s proprietary multi-organ-chip technology platform closely emulates and simulates human biology to achieve uniquely lifelike environments. Connected organs and close physiological context allow remarkably close resemblance to in vivo conditions. This has benefited the drug development process, with current in vitro and animal modelling tests failing to emulate physiological organ complexity within the human body.

Head of Business Development, Reyk Horland, will be leading a spotlight session on multi-organ-chip technologies and its potential impact on drug discovery at the conference.

Reyk's presentation will showcase how "human-on-a-chip" technology is transforming drug development. He will demonstrate how this new approach allows us to closely study organoid interaction and allows more representative drug toxicity and efficacy screening. He will also highlight the importance of highly physiologically relevant cultures and microenvironments as scientists aim to close the gap between in vivo and in vitro.

Reyk will be speaking on Day 2 of the conference and joins lead decision-makers and industry innovators from Sanofi, Takeda, AstraZeneca, Merck Serono, AbbVie, GSK, Johnson & Johnson, UCB Pharma, Eli Lilly and more. A full list of speakers can be found on www.drug-discovery.co.uk/EIN.

SMi’s Drug Discovery conference aims to bridge the gaps in approval for drug discovery and development by discussing the latest scientific breakthroughs, exploring novel technologies and approaches that can be used to overcome drug development challenges.

The event will also feature two post-conference workshops on new approaches in lead generation and applications of physicochemical and biomimetic properties in early drug discovery.
