From 9 to 13 June, Tour & Taxis in Brussels will host the largest international conference ever dedicated to microphysiological systems (MPS), better known as ‘organs-on-chips’. These innovative technologies simulate human organs in the laboratory and represent a promising alternative to animal testing, delivering more accurate, efficient, and humane results.

Professor Mathieu Vinken of VUB is chairing the conference. “MPS is not just a trendy gadget. It is a necessary step forward for both science and animal welfare. MPS systems offer better and more humane tools.”

The US FDA, the European Commission, and companies such as InSphero will also be represented. The MPS World Summit has become an international platform bridging science, policy, and industry.

We warmly invite you to attend this conference. There will be opportunities to speak with the presenters. Please confirm your attendance via Leen.Vandevelde2@vub.be or +32 471 09 17 24.
