Microfluidics and Bio-Mems

Tissues-on-a-chips and 3D Cell Culture Systems

Lab on a chip and microfluidics are essential technologies with countless applications from drug delivery to tissue engineering. LOC integrates fluidic and electronic elements on one chip and becomes very attractive thanks to the likelihood of their state of art execution in personalized devices for the purpose of care treatments. The implementation of microfluidic devices within life sciences has furthered the chances of both academic and industrial applications like rapid genome sequencing, predictive drug studies, and single cell manipulation. In contrast to the well-liked two dimensional cell based screening, three dimensional (3D) systems have more in vivo relevance also as ability to perform as a predictive tool to the success or failure of a drug screening campaign.
