Listen to our product showcase, view our posters and meet our team!

Come and visit the team at our booth number #2001 to discuss how bit.bio offers partnering opportunities that affords access to the most relevant parental human cell types and corresponding disease models. These models are physiologically relevant and highly characterised, offering predictive, in vitro, human cells for early drug discovery, phenotypic screening, and high-content imaging applications.  

Product Showcase | Tuesday 14th November 4:00 PM EST | Located in the exhibit hall, 1500 Aisle (Hall B)

"Discover how to advance your neuroinflammation research and drug discovery with fast, functional and consistent hiPSC-derived ioMicroglia cultures"

Dr Javier Conde Vancells, Director Product Management, bit.bio  Dr Malika Bsibsi, Research Leader, Charles River Laboratories

For years, widely used protocols for generating hiPSC-derived microglia have required long, complex workflows that suffer from lot-to-lot consistency.  Dr Javier Conde Vancells and Dr Malika Bsibsi, will share exclusive data on the functional and consistent properties of hiPSC-derived ioMicroglia. Highlighting their use in assays, including phagocytosis, cytokine secretion and chemotaxis in just 10 days post-thaw.
