MPS World Summit 2026

InSphero at the MPS World Summit 2026

Join us at the MPS World Summit 2026 in Washington, DC, where the global community comes together to advance microphysiological systems and human-relevant models.

We’re looking forward to engaging with the field around how technologies are evolving beyond standalone models toward more integrated, workflow-oriented approaches. We combine our 3D in vitro platforms with the expertise and infrastructure needed to support consistent, scalable, and decision-ready outcomes across the research pipeline.

Don't miss the opportunity to connect, exchange perspectives, and learn how these approaches can be applied within your own workflows.

 

Explore all our activities taking place during MPS Summit 2026 from Tuesday, May 26th to Friday, May 29th. See you soon!
