This event will feature short presentations by collaborating surgeons and basic scientists, lab tours, and hands-on demonstrations. The objective is to share the latest developments in organs-on-chips for endometriosis drug development – including updates on old and new drugs being tested in these models and advanced imaging combined with AI interpretation to illuminate endometrial pathologies at the cellular and molecular level. Technical content will be preceded by a reception with light refreshments to foster discussion of how technologies can help clinical practice.
