SCIREQ & 3RsC will be hosting a free webinar on on Tuesday, November 10th, at 10am EST / 4:00 PM CET via ZOOM.
Title: Integrating Advanced Preclinical Models of Increasing Complexity to Study Lung Injury and Repair
Event Description: This webinar will explore the integration of translational models to study lung injury and repair, specifically focusing on mechanisms in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, and pulmonary hypertension. The discussion will highlight the cross-model application of specialized preclinical methodologies, bridging in vivo assessments like flexiVent invasive lung mechanics testing and micro-computed tomography with ex vivo and in vitro approaches such as precision-cut lung slices and air-liquid interface cultures.
Dr. Hadzic is an early career group leader and basic science researcher at the Excellence Cluster Cardio-Pulmonary Institute at Justus Liebig University Giessen. He completed his undergraduate and master’s studies at the University of Belgrade, followed by doctoral research at Justus Liebig University Giessen. His research investigates the molecular mechanisms of alveolar and vascular lung repair in chronic lung diseases, utilizing advanced preclinical methodologies.
The flexiVent lung function solution is widely regarded as the gold standard for in vivo respiratory mechanics measurements. It goes beyond traditional resistance and compliance mechanics of pulmonary ventilation, and captures crucial details about the mechanical properties of conducting airways, terminal airways and parenchyma.
The flexiVent achieves the highest sensitivity and reproducibility by precisely controlling experimental conditions.
Precision-Cut Lung Slices (PCLS) help researchers understand pathophysiological mechanisms associated with various respiratory diseases. The physioLens is a scientific platform that provides accurate physiological and image-based outcomes in a reproducible fashion. It includes an automated microscope and fluid handling system.
The physioLens features:
We are proud to introduce our new expoCube, adding robust in vitro exposure to the automated inExpose system.
The expoCube provides a novel ALI (air liquid interface) culture exposure system, integrating with the inExpose’s existing exposure generators such as the integrated cigarette smoking robot and industry leading e-cigarette extensions.
The expoCube features:
