Sophisticated 3D cell culture scaffolds for Next Generation Barrier-on-chip In vitro moDels
Name of PI: Maria Tenje Host institution: Uppsala University, SE
- Today, full advantage cannot be taken of in vitro cell culture studies because the cells do not behave
naturally in articifical environments i.e. they lose their phenotype in static 2D cultures. Problem formulation
The solution is to realise biological 3D barrier-on-chips
Impact
- Increased precision in drug development
- Reduced animal testing and safer clinical trials
- Personalised medicines
- Biocompatible microsystems for life science research
Why me? Why now?
- Expertise in microsystems engineering
- Experience with biomedical microsystems
- Access to necessary research infrastructure
- Organ-on-chip is an emerging research field
