European Drug Discovery Workshop in Tübingen, Germany
In July 2025, we hosted our the Drug Discovery Workshop at the NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute in Reutlingen (University of Tübingen). Expanding on the tradition of the FDSS Users Meetings, the event brought together researchers and practitioners working with 2D and 3D cell models.
Participants had the chance to explore cutting-edge technologies, including the FDSS µCell, FDSS–GX, and the newly introduced CYTOQUBE® light-sheet microplate cytometer. The program featured live demonstrations, poster sessions, and scientific presentations, creating a vibrant exchange on advances in drug discovery, safety toxicology, and disease modeling.
The workshop successfully fostered collaboration and knowledge-sharing, highlighting Hamamatsu’s commitment to supporting innovation in areas such as oncology, immunology, and beyond.
