In recent years, microphysiological systems such as organoids and organ-on-chip have found wide-ranging applications in the fields of disease research, drug development, and precision medicine, making them pivotal and sought-after technologies in numerous countries. Jointly hosted by Southeast University，Nanjing Jiangbei New Area Administrative Committee and other institutions，and organized by State Key Laboratory of Digital Medical Engineering, Institute of Biomaterials and Medical Devices, National Innovation Center - Yangtze Delta, Institute of Medical Devices (Suzhou), SEU, Institute of Microphysiological Systems, the "2026 Asia-Pacific Summit of International MPS Society & the 9th Academic Conference on Organoid and Organs-on-Chip" will be held in Nanjing , China from Sep 21st to 24th, 2026.

The conference aims to explore the latest research trends in microphysiological systems, including organs-on-chip, organoids, biomedical big data, and showcase the most recent research achievements. It provides a platform for academic, industry, and research collaboration in the field of microphysiological systems. Together, we aspire to advance international microphysiological systems research and industrial development to new horizons!

The conference will feature multiple sessions, including Plenary Lectures, Invited Lectures, Oral Reports, FlashTalks, and Poster Presentations, with awards such as “Outstanding Oral Report”, “Outstanding FlashTalk” and “Outstanding Poster” to be presented.

We cordially invite scientific researchers and industry professionals from universities, research institutes, and enterprises worldwide to actively submit their work and participate in this premier academic event, jointly advancing microphysiological systems research and industry to a new stage!

Conference Format

lPlenary & Invited Lectures

Distinguished academicians and experts in the field of microphysiological systems from both China and abroad will be invited to deliver featured presentations.

lOral Reports 

Presenters should generally be the first author of the paper. Presenters should prepare English PowerPoint slides in 16:9 format, with content covering research objectives, methodology, findings, and significance. While presentations may be delivered in either English or Chinese, English is strongly encouraged. All speakers must check the conference website for schedule updates and arrive at least half a day before their session to ensure proper slide preparation.

The Academic Committee will evaluate these presentations and confer "Outstanding Oral Report" awards.

lFlash Talks

The flash talk session follows similar requirements, with English PPT slides in 16:9 format and preference given to English delivery. All speakers must check the conference website for schedule updates and arrive at least half a day before their session to ensure proper slide preparation. The Academic Committee will evaluate these presentations and confer "Outstanding Flash Talk " awards.

lPoster Presentations

Participants must prepare their own posters in English, with adhesive paper, meeting the specified dimensions (120cm height × 90cm width), with one poster permitted per paper. All posters must be displayed in the designated area by the specified time (further notice will be given).  Presenters are responsible for removing their posters after the session, as unclaimed materials will be discarded. The Academic Committee and experts will jointly evaluate posters for "Outstanding Poster" awards.
