A SHARED PLATFORM FOR ORGAN-ON-CHIP KNOWLEDGE
EUROoCS was established on 5 November 2018 as an international independent not-for-profit organization aimed at encouraging Organ-on-Chip research and development and providing opportunities to share and advance knowledge and expertise in the field towards better health for all. EUROoCS provides a platform for dialogue and interaction between all stakeholders involved in the Organ-on-Chip field, to stimulate collaboration and dissemination of the latest developments. With the support of EUROoCS, the Organ-on-Chip community will be well positioned to accelerate adoption of the Organ-on-Chip technology.
