Phase II Practical course (upon selection among ) 2-6 November 2026 (Lille & Montpellier)
The selected attendees for the practical phase will have the opportunity to participate in one of these two workshops:
The first hands on session is in Lille and dedicated to the fabrication of gut-on-chip, including 3D-printing, fabrication of PDMS chips using soft lithography, and the culture of an intestinal epithelium microfluidic flow conditions. The training will conclude with functional analyses, including optical microscopy and permeability measurements.
The second practical workshop will be in Montpellier and attendees will learn how to manufacture and prepare microfluidic circuits and microelectrode arrays in clean room, then they will use these devices in experiments for the study of blood flows in microfluidics and the electrophysiology of cardiomyocytes.
SELECTION: a maximum of 6 trainees for Lille and 10 trainees for Montpellier will be selected among phase I participants
