ORGAN ON A CHIP for the study of human phisiology
Microfluidics Application: Organ-on-a-Chip
Organ on a Chip is a type of artificial organ which simulates the activities, mechanics and physiological response of the entire organs and organ systems.
Moreover, it is a flexible polymer multi-channel 3-D microfluidic cell culture chip, and the union of lab -on-chips and cell biology has enabled the study of human physiology in an organic-specific context.
These types of chips are used to potentially accelerate drug discovery, reduce drug-development costs, to create a future of personalized medicine to treat a wide variety of diseases, such as cancer, pulmonary thrombosis and asthma.
Furthermore, these type of microchips are much more realistic models of the human body comparing with the flat layers of cells grown in petri dishes.
One idea, one design and engineering-to-production.
