What can geometry do for you? - A practical, “how to” toolbox for the development of physiologically relevant 3D models

To 3D or not to 3D – this is a question at the forefront for most people in discovery programs. With the passing of the FDA Modernization Act 2.0, there is a greater interest in the community around the use of physiologically relevant in vitro models for the use of IND enabling submissions to the FDA. This workshop is designed to help participants understand the nuts and bolts of setting up 3D physiologically relevant models will allow participants to understand not only the utility of these models in answering a specific biological question but also to understand the practical importance of the various stages of assay development, automation compatibility and data analysis. Without a robust, scalable and reproducibly functioning assay there is no actionable data. At the end of this workshop, participants should be able to leave with the confidence of understanding the importance of robust and scalable assay development for 3D models and how that will allow them to position and prioritize pre clinical candidates in their discovery programs.
