 “Symposium Latsis EPFL 2016” on the topic “Multicellular organisms i
 n microfluidic systems” will be held at the campus of the Ecole Polytech
 nique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) on the shoreline of the beautiful Lac 
 Léman\, Lausanne\, Switzerland. (November 14-16\, 2016) Studies of living
  organisms like nematodes and invertebrate embryos in controlled spatio-te
 mporal chemical environments on microfluidic chips are gaining momentum\, 
 as these animals offer genetic amenability\, low-cost\, and culture condit
 ions that are compatible with large-scale screens\, while not raising ethi
 cal issues.\n\nThe 2.5-day Latsis Symposium wants to bridge the gap betwee
 n microfluidic systems and biological model organism research\, by providi
 ng an interdisciplinary forum on the technology and applications of microf
 luidic systems for studies of multicellular organisms in medicine and biol
 ogy. Invited and Contributed Presentations cover the topics of microfluidi
 c technologies\, organism (neuro-)biology\, on-chip manipulation and imagi
 ng\, development studies\, screening\, and in vivo diagnostic applications
