MPS World Summit

The MPS World Summit, organized by the Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT) and EUROoCS, with the support of more than forty organizations, is proud to present the Microphysiological Systems World Summit.

MPS have advanced exponentially beyond anyone’s imagination over the last decade. The use spectrum of the new technology has moved within a short time from basic and clinical research to industrial applications in drug discovery and even to the production of data relevant to regulatory decisions. The power of MPS technology to emulate genuine human biology under experimental conditions is likely to make many animal experiments redundant. Dozens of new enterprises have bloomed worldwide on the back of this scientific bandwagon. The International MPS Society (iMPSS), inaugurated at the New Orleans MPS Summit in 2022, together with the European Organ-on-Chip Society (EUROoCS) are bringing the MPS World Summit series to Europe in 2023.
