Advanced 3D Cell Models: Bridging the Gap to Therapeutic Effect

This webinar will be hosted live and available on-demand

Wednesday, October 1, 2025
1:00 PM - 3:30 PM ET

Advanced 3D cell models recreate the complexity of human tissues, enabling researchers to examine tumor progression, probe neurological disorders, and assess therapeutic candidates. By capturing the intricacies of human biology, these models reveal new opportunities to advance research and uncover novel therapeutic avenues.

In this virtual summit brought to you by Inventia Life Science, leading researchers and industry professionals will discuss the real-world influence of advanced 3D cell models in translational research, drug discovery, and disease modeling. The event will feature expert-led case studies, panel discussions, and an in-depth exploration of a next-generation 3D cell culture platform.

Topics to be covered 

• Creating bioinspired extracellular matrix-based 3D culture models to investigate maladaptive wound healing
• Generating reproducible 3D bioprinted colorectal cancer organoids for drug screening
• Showcasing the RASTRUM Allegro platform for scalable, reproducible 3D cell models
• Using artificial intelligence-enabled analysis of patient-derived 3D cancer models to predict treatment responses
