Super excited to announce that we will be running a major training centre in organ-chip for 60 plus PhD students, after receiving over £7M if funding from @EPSRCCDT.

[QMUL Sci & Eng News @QMULSciEng]

Huge news for #OrgandonChip research! @QMULSEMS awarded £7 million by @EPSRCCDT to train the next generation of scientists & bioengineers in this game-changing technology. This could revolutionise drug discovery & improve healthcare for all! #EPSRC_CDTs https://t.co/zpfK9QVrMU

[Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council @EPSRC]

We’re pleased to announce 65 Centres for Doctoral Training, supported with a £1 billion investment, that will equip the next generation of researchers to tackle key challenges such as AI, healthcare and quantum technologies: https://t.co/jMjHWkILhM #EPSRC_CDTs

Are you an in vivo researcher able to help the @RSPCA_LabAnimal with this project?? Get in touch with them directly to find out more and contribute.

[Adrian Biddle @DrABiddle]

Podcast covering cancer research, animal replacement, technological and medical advances, and my personal motivations for pursuing a career in these areas @blizard_inst @QMULBartsTheLon. Thank you @CarlaJOwen @AFR_UK for the invitation! #animalfreelabcast #kinderscience

[QMUL Centre for Predictive in vitro Models (CPM) @QMULCPM]

Great to see organ-chip technology in the new UKRI Emerging Technology report. This comments how organ-chips could 'revolutionise clinical trial design and deliver a new wave of treatments and interventions, improving global health outcomes'

Postdoc @QMUL apply by 9 March!
We are looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join Dr Yung-Yao Lin's group -Blizard Institute. With Prof Gautrot and Dr Connelly, we are developing microvasculature-skeletal muscle-on-a-chip https://t.co/yfH2VAa98v

[Adrian Biddle @DrABiddle]

We had a brilliant afternoon last Wednesday for the annual @QMULCPM @OrganOnAChip symposium. Approx 170 organ-on-a-chip researchers from across the UK descended on @blizard_inst (some of them online, or we would have needed a bigger auditorium!). https://t.co/a1IcxjvZjY

[Adrian Biddle @DrABiddle]

Great start to the ⁦@QMULCPM⁩ ⁦@OrganOnAChip⁩ annual symposium ⁦@blizard_inst⁩. Fantastic turnout and really good discussion of organ-on-a-chip models.
