Dear Colleague,

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains one of the key hurdles in the development of effective therapies for brain tumors. How can more physiologically relevant models help us better understand tumor biology, drug transport, and treatment response?

Join EPO Berlin-Buch and Dynamic42 on June 18, 2026, at 4:00 PM CET for a webinar exploring the latest advances in BBB-on-chip technology and its applications in brain cancer research.

What to Expect

Our experts will discuss how human-based BBB-on-chip models can be used to:

  • Study tumor-BBB interactions in glioblastoma and other brain tumor entities
  • Investigate drug transport across the blood-brain barrier
  • Evaluate therapeutic candidates in a physiologically relevant setting Complement established preclinical approaches to support translational research

The webinar will also feature a live panel discussion on current bottlenecks in brain cancer drug development and opportunities to improve translational predictability.
