The Tumor-LN-oC project develops an organ-on-chip platform combining tumor and lymph node tissue from the same cancer patient. Happy to be highlighted by HaDEA on World Cancer Day! Tumor-LN-oC Åbo Akademi University InFLAMES Flagship

Last week we hosted the M24 consortium meeting for the “Tumor and Lymph Node on Chip for cancer studies” project focused on creating a novel organ-on-chip platform. We thank our partners for making the trip up north, for the lively discussion and for the hands-on help in the lab!

The Tumor-LN-oC M24 meeting allowed us to showcase both our beautiful city and the research facilities at Åbo Akademi University, Turku BioImaging and TurkuBioscience to our international guests. A special thank you to Jouko Sandholm and Jessica Rosenholm for hosting lab tours!
