Abstract
Microfluidic devices present many advantages for the development of efficient drugs as they offer rapid techniques for direct drug screening. They not only optimize resource management, but also enable massive parallelization for tests with significant economies of scale. The precise control of experimental conditions and the very low volumes involved in microfluidics solutions match the requirements of 2D and 3D cell cultures as well as organs on a chip, which is key to narrowing the bridge between in vitro and in vivo environments.
