day: Conference Day Two

Engineering Preclinical Models that Better Recapitulate the Chronic & Progressive Nature of Human Fibrosis 8:30 am - 10:30 am

As antifibrotic drug development moves towards more precise and long-term outcomes, conventional animal models fall short in capturing the full biological complexity of human fibrosis, mimicking the chronic, progressive, and complex nature. This session will explore innovative platforms that better replicate more chronic, multi-dimensional models that not only mimic human disease progression but also improve…Read more
