Workshop Summary
Join Curi Bio for an exciting summer workshop at our headquarters dedicated to advanced human 3D engineered muscle tissues in disease modeling, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. The event will feature a balance of informative scientific talks on skeletal muscle, cardiac, and neuromuscular junction models, including highlights on DMD drug discovery, and a hands-on exploration of Curi Bio’s cutting-edge instruments.
Experience technical demonstrations during our lab tour that showcase tissue engineering best practices, featuring instrument demos for Mantarray™ (Casting and Measurement), Nautilai™, and Nautilai Plus™.
Curi Bio’s aim is to foster a collaborative atmosphere at our Workshop World Tour events, which not only makes for a great opportunity to learn from experts, but a chance to network with other individuals who are working to access human functional data. Whether you’re new to 3D tissues, entertaining utilizing them, or looking to refine your skills, Curi Bio’s workshops are the best place to learn about 3D tissues.
