Organisers: A/Prof Christian Wadsack (University of Graz, Austria) Dr Birgit Hirschmugl (University of Graz, Austria) Aim: Since the development of the ex vivo dual perfusion model of the human placenta cotyledon, the technique has provided essential insight into how nutrients, lipids, gases, immunoglobulins, endocrine agents, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, nanoparticles, micro-organisms and parasites might traverse the maternofetal barrier. Moreover, the model has been essential in gaining a better understanding of the regulation of vascular tone, endocrinology and metabolism within this organ. In this workshop we will briefly present the advantages of the method in different fields of application. After this short introduction, we will discuss in small groups how complementary models as well as theoretical modelling might be complementary tools for a better understanding on the effect of toxic substances on the placenta and unborn. 1330-1340: Introduction - A/Prof Christian Wadsack 1340-1345: Dr Tina Buerki-Thurnherr 1345-1350: Miss Paulina Fuentes 1350-1355: Prof Christiane Albrecht and Dr Rona Karahoda 1355-1400: Prof František Štaud 1400-1405: Prof Rohan Lewis 1405-1410: Prof. Stefan Hansson and Dr Birgit Hirschmugl 1410-1415: Dr Michelle Broekhuizen 1415-1510: Discussion in small focus groups 1510-1530: Close
