In-Vitro 2D & 3D Neuronal Networks Summit (MaxWell User Meeting)
Every Cell Has A Story To Tell – Everyone Has An Experience To Share
We are excited to announce that we are organizing the first Maxwell Biosystems User Meeting this April!
This interactive virtual event is open to everyone interested in Neuroscience, Cell Biology and Bioengineering! We prepared an exciting scientific program, with very interesting speakers, covering a wide range of topics, from iPSC-derived neurons to retinal and brain organoids. Whether you are an expert in microelectrode array technology, a newcomer in the field, or just wondering what the technology can be used for, there will be something for you to learn. We want to bring scientists from all over the world together and foster scientific exchange and collaboration.
The event will take place over two days: the first day will be open to everybody and the second day is exclusive for MaxWell users. Join us and connect with scientists in the field of in-vitro 2D and 3D neuronal networks worldwide!
When?
Thursday, April 22, 2021 – Friday, April 23, 2021
