Webinar: Cuore advancing disease modeling and drug testing in skeletal and cardiac diseases

Time: 16:00 – 17:30 CET | Date: 2 July 2025

Join us for a free live webinar hosted by Optics11 Life, where we will explore Cuore technology and its applications in skeletal and cardiac research.

The session will cover:

  • Measuring and exercising 3D-engineered muscle tissues using Cuore
  • Establishing disease models for muscular dystrophies and cardiomyopathies for drug screening purposes
  • Developing engineered heart tissue models and advancing cardiac maturity

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to leverage Cuore technology to tackle challenges in measuring overall muscle function in a direct, robust, automated, and high-throughput manner. [Join this webinar](add link) for more insights.

Summary
The Optics11 Life team, along with experts and end-users of the Cuore platform, will provide an in-depth look at a robust and automated method for generating contractility data from engineered heart tissues and skeletal muscle tissues. This webinar will explain Cuore technology, focusing on the measurement and analysis of contractile forces and other key parameters crucial for assessing muscle function.

We will highlight the strengths and challenges in the field related to generating reliable functional data and improving the maturity of 3D engineered muscle tissues. The session will also demonstrate how to model skeletal muscle diseases using the Cuore platform. Furthermore, we will discuss how Cuore can enhance the maturity 3D engineered heart tissues through continuous electrical pacing protocols.

This webinar is beneficial for anyone interested in using contractile forces as a readout for modeling muscle diseases, conducting drug screening of potential therapeutics, and facilitating tissue maturation. We aim to provide advanced tools that enable you to generate reliable, translatable functional data early on in the drug development pipeline.
