DESCRIPTION:Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive human malignan
 ices with high lethality and poor prognosis. A promising approach for targ
 eted optimisation of treatment of pancreatic cancer for a specific individ
 ual is the ex vivo modelling of an individual's response to treatment. Tis
 sue engineering offers a lot of potential on that direction. With the use 
 of appropriate biomaterials and micro-architecture one can mimic tissue el
 ements in a reproducible and low cost way\, allowing ex vivo studies of st
 andard and alternative treatments as well as the collection of important p
 atient specific biological information related to treatment response. This
  talk is focusing on the application of different types of biomaterials an
 d structures for screening of pancreatic cancer.
