Harnessing Advanced Cell Culture Models for Drug Discovery Breakthroughs

The landscape of drug discovery is rapidly evolving, driven by the need for more predictive and complex models that closely mimic human tissues. In this webinar, April Kloxin of the University of Delaware will discuss the application of advanced cell culture models developed through Inventia’s Rastrum platform, which enables the creation of complex in vitro tissue structures that replicate the cellular microenvironment. This tool enhances the investigation of disease mechanisms and the testing of therapeutic interventions with greater relevance to human biology.

Kloxin's research focuses on designing dynamic biomaterials that can be modified in real time to probe how specific environmental signals impact cell behavior, offering new insights into tissue repair, regeneration, and disease progression.

Key topics include:

• Overview of dynamic biomaterials and their applications.
• Insights into the role of the Rastrum platform in drug discovery.
• The impact of 3D cell models on understanding disease and regeneration.
• Collaborative approaches for tailored research solutions.

This presentation highlights the potential of these cell culture models in developing therapies and improving patient outcomes.
