Engineering Culture Platforms to Mimic Liver Diseases

Originally Aired: 16 May 2018

Watch this webinar for an overview of complex models related to liver disease research, presented by Dr. Salman Khetani, Associate Professor for Bioegineering at University of Illinois at Chicago.

Dr. Salman Khetani discusses:

Drug discovery related to liver diseases
Methods for building advanced liver models
Emerging trends in liver disease research

You will learn about:
This webinar considers technologies being employed to build advanced human liver culture platforms that display key features of global liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, and hepatitis B viral infection, which are currently the subject of novel drug discovery by several major pharmaceutical companies. The use of primary human hepatocytes and other cell types of the liver (e.g. hepatic stellate cells) for building human liver platforms is discussed as well as long-term cell characterization and drug validation data as appropriate. Finally, emerging trends are discussed that will move the field forward towards alleviating the burden of liver disease on human patient populations.
