"BFlow, example of translating an idea from the lab to the needs of the pharmaceutical industry"

Abstract:

BFlow was born from years of collaborative research between Optics, Physics, and Cardiology groups, with the aim of developing new models to reproduce human physiology at research labs. What began as an idea to improve cardiovascular research has led to the creation of BFlow, which aims to commercialize Organ-on-a-chip systems to the pharmaceutical industry to significantly improve the discovery and development of new drugs.

The seminar will be followed by hands-on practice in setting up Organ-on-a-chip systems for 20 minutes at the lab. Please register here if you are interested in taking part in this.

Bio:

Bruno K. Rodiño Janeiro completed his doctoral thesis at the University of Santiago de Compostela in Cardiology. After the thesis, he made several postdoctoral research stays at reference centers such as EMBL or MIT. During his scientific career, his knowledge of cell and molecular biology was applied to unravel the mechanisms of human disease. Now, he is translating his experience into the development of new Organ-on-a-chips at BFlow.
