DESCRIPTION:Organ on a chip technology is creating a lot of interest in th
 e academic and industrial community – but what actually is an ‘organ o
 n a chip’?\n\nThere are few standards and a divergence of opinions about
  what is the  most important factor to ensure that the technology actually
  moves from lab curiosity to mainstream application.  This presentation ai
 ms to explain the origins of the technology and clarify the requirements o
 f several of the leading applications. \n\nMany applications need long ter
 m cell culture rather than a quick go/no go toxicity assay. Live cell moni
 toring provides many opportunities for novel biosensors and imaging techno
 logies.\n\nThe presentation will close with a review on the status of seve
 ral leading commercial approaches to organ on a chip.\n
