Webinar: Tumoroid-on-a-Chip as a Physiologically Relevant Model for Immunotherapy

22 August 2025 12:00-13:00


Introduction
This webinar will be led by Dr. Mohsen Akbari, a leading innovator in microfluidics and tumor microenvironment modeling. If you're engaged in oncology, immunotherapy, or drug discovery, this is a webinar you can’t afford to miss.
 
When?
Live Webinar: August 22, 2025 | 12:00 PM EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)
Set a reminder and reserve your seat—space is limited!
 
What to Expect
As cancer researchers continue to face challenges in treating solid tumors like glioblastoma, tumoroid-on-a-chip platforms offer new hope. Dr. Akbari’s team has engineered a microfluidic system that replicates the tumor’s native environment—bridging the gap between 2D cell cultures and in vivo models.
 
Key highlights include:
 
Development of high-throughput tumoroid-on-plate systems
 
Integration of cellular heterogeneity and ECM structure
 
Realistic immunotherapy screening conditions
 
Use cases in drug development and translational oncology
 
This innovative platform mimics human tumor physiology more accurately than traditional methods, making it a valuable tool for testing novel therapies and improving clinical translation.
 
Why Attend?
Attending this live event gives you direct access to expert insights, practical applications, and emerging trends in 3D tumor modeling. You'll gain a firsthand look at how Creative Biolabs is driving the future of immunotherapy research with advanced microengineering technologies.
