Explore the cutting-edge Human-on-a-Chip systems for therapeutic index determination and systemic toxicity in pre-clinical drug discovery applications in this 37-minute webinar presented by Dr. James J. Hickman. Delve into the limitations of current drug discovery and toxicology research models, and learn how these innovative multi-organ platforms can bridge the gap between single-cell studies and animal or human systems. Discover the potential of these systems in studying neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and Alzheimer's, as well as spinal cord injuries. Gain insights into the creation of functional in vitro systems that model motor control, muscle function, myelination, cognitive function, and cardiac systems. Understand how these body-on-a-chip systems can replace animal testing in product development and safety assessments across various industries.
