NET-RARE second workshop will explore<\/strong>\u00a0how\u00a0humanized and bioengineered models<\/strong>\u00a0can replace 2D cultures and murine models to\u00a0better understand<\/strong>\u00a0and replicate\u00a0rare disorders<\/strong>. The goal is to examine the latest approaches for studying rare diseases in personalized human models.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The opening seminar will feature\u00a0Juanma Fern\u00e1ndez\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>(IBEC). He will present a 3D model designed to study various muscular diseases, along with Organ-on-Chip (OOC) technology and a biosensor platform for detecting biomarkers of the pathology. Next,\u00a0Anna Collado Gimbert\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>(VHIR<\/span>)\u00a0will introduce their new personalized model for studying rare anaemia disorders. Her team, in collaboration with IBEC, has developed a spleen-like microfluidic filtering unit to model disease progression and create a diagnostic device for prognosis and patient stratification.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following this,\u00a0international speaker Francesco Saverio Tedesco\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>(University College London<\/span>)\u00a0will present his research on enhancing muscle regeneration to develop treatments for severe and incurable childhood diseases, like muscular dystrophies. His team has developed a novel human engineered muscle model for advanced in vitro modelling of muscle disorders involving extracellular matrix, including COL6-related dystrophies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After a networking break, the next talk will be given by\u00a0Laura\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span>Siles<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0(<\/span>Instituto de Microcirug\u00eda Ocular) in Barcelona<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The group develops 3D retina models using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells and has extensive expertise in gene editing with CRISPR technology applied to patient-derived iPS cells. Finally,\u00a0Marc Riu-Villanueva<\/strong><\/span>(IBEC<\/span>)\u00a0will share their research on neurodegenerative diseases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Join us to explore the next steps in bioengineering using humanized models to advance biomedical research!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Workshop held in the framework of the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>IBEC Thematic Networks<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
