🌟Members of the Lifelong VISION consortium were actively involved in the recent hDMT Vessels-on-Chip Theme Group meeting in Delft and the 11th Trippenhuis meeting of the Dutch Society for Cell Biology in Amsterdam. 🌟
These dynamic meetings provided a fantastic platform to exchange ideas, foster partnerships, and stimulate innovation in our field.
The hDMT Theme Group meeting, attended by Stephan Huveneers among others, emphasized the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and showed big steps forward are being made to incorporate bioprinting.
During the DSCB Trippenhuis Meeting, Livelong VISION members gave lectures: Ronald Roepman in the session ‘Molecular characterization of disease’ and Paola Serrano in the session ‘Tissue models for disease’. @Ivar Noordstra had a Blitz talk. The event covered a wide range of cell biology topics and showed great innovations in the field of microscopy.
These meetings foster an open and collaborative atmosphere and Lifelong VISION gained more exposure! 🚀
