SOT 59th Annual Meeting and ToxExpo 2020


Mar 15 - 19, 2020

The Next Best Thing to Human

Meet InSphero Toxicology and 3D cell-based assay experts at SOT 2020 to learn how you can screen for toxic compounds earlier with the 3D™ InSight Liver Toxicology Platform and translational safety solutions.

  • Achieve 2X sensitivity in DILI prediction without sacrificing specificity
  • Minimize risks late-stage market withdrawal
  • Rely on ISO 9001:2015 quality-controlled microtissues
  • Reduce animal testing with pharma-validated 3D liver models
  • Learn about new 3D causality assays for functional validation of DILI mechanisms

Oral Presentations

Exhibitor Hosted Session

Monday, March 16, 12 – 1 PM, Room 206A

Transforming Translational Safety and Mechanistic Toxicology with 3D Human Liver Microtissues

Chair: Prof. Armin Wolf; Presenter: Monika Kijanska
Accurately predicting the human response to drug treatment remains one of the biggest challenges in drug safety programs. We will discuss new screening strategies and novel applications for 3D human liver microtissues that complement traditional testing programs, while providing deeper insights into mechanisms and biomarkers of DILI.

Exhibitor Hosted Session

Tuesday, March 17, 1:30 – 2:30 PM, Room 206A
Redefining NASH Drug Discovery: A New Approach to Complex Disease Modeling
Chair: Prof. Armin Wolf; Presenter: Sue Grepper
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive disease that takes years to develop in humans and involves an intricate interplay of multiple liver cell types, impaired liver functionality, and disrupted signaling. We will present a versatile platform for screening/testing NASH therapies using pathophysiological relevant, disease-tunable 3D in vitro human models.
