Microfluidics technology offers the possibility to create devices in which chemical, mechanical, and physical conditions can be precisely controlled. This makes it possible to create well-defined micro-environments to realize advanced multi-cellular culture systems to investigate tissue and organ function, and to recreate aspects of diseases to understand processes and mechanisms in disease progression. This forms the new field of Organ-on-Chip.
In this lecture, I will explain the philosophy of Organ-on-Chip, the opportunities it offers for biomedical research, drug development and personal diagnostics, I will give examples of organ-on-chip technologies and associated fabrication methods developed in recent years, and I will illustrate the development and possibilities of Organ-on-Chip with examples of our own research on cancer research.
