Oral Presentations
Exhibitor Hosted Session
Monday, March 11, 12 – 1 PM, Room 339
Scalable 3D In Vitro Technology for Predictive DILI Screening, Mechanistic Hepatotoxicity Testing, and Translational Safety
A comprehensive evaluation of clinical compounds in 3D human and animal liver co-cultures consisting of primary hepatocytes and Kupffer cells for improved DILI prediction compared to standard 2D hepatocyte culture will be presented. Data on functional characterization of 3D human liver co-cultures in 384-well plates suitable for high-throughput screening will also be shared.

Tuesday, March 12, 1:30 – 2:30 AM, Room 339
A Scalable, 3D In Vitro Drug Discovery Platform for NASH and Fibrosis
Characterization and applications of 3D microtissue models for screening and efficacy testing of anti-NASH and anti-fibrotic drugs will be discussed. These advanced human disease models contain the relevant primary liver cell types involved in disease initiation and progression, and incorporate key pathophysiological aspects, such as inflammation and scarring.
