1. Call for Posters CHIs 2nd Annual FAST: Functional Analysis & Screening Technologies Congress http://www.FASTCongress.com Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI) is accepting scientific posters from industry & academic researchers on improving the screening success of rate drugs using 3D models & phenotypic screening. Deadline for submission is October 10, 2014. CHI welcomes posters on these topics: 3D cellular models and technologies for drug and target screening Successfully applying phenotypic screens in drug discovery Phenotypic drug discovery Body-on-a-chip systems for toxicological evaluations Organotypic culture models (OCMs) for each organ-specific testing regime, such as kidney, heart, liver and gut Factors that are important for a successful phenotypic screening strategy Phenotypic screening in physiologically-relevant models Developing biodynamic screening assays for 3D live-tissue models An all-human microphysiologic liver system for carcinoma metastasis Discovering unexpected phenotypes using image-based profiling Merging advanced biomaterials and microscale technologies to create 3D vascularized tissues 2D versus 3D culture models: when to make the switch and more Poster presenters will be published in the conference proceedings and will be entered into a drawing to win a cash prize. To secure a poster board and inclusion in the conference materials, your abstract must be submitted, approved and your registration paid in full by October 10, 2014.
