The organ-on-a-chip is a miniature system that mimics the human body environment. The goal of organ-on-a-chip is to develop human tissue models for disease modeling and drug testing. They use microfluidics, along with cells, to imitate the physiological and mechanical conditions in the body. They can control the movement and behavior of materials and cells by using membranes, chambers, channels, etc.
Organ-on-a-chip do not only have the advantages of miniaturization, integration and low consumption, but also enables researchers to precisely control multiple parameters of the system, such as chemical concentration gradient, fluid shear stress, cell patterning, tissue-tissue interface, organ-organ interaction and so on. They aim at mimicking the complex structure, microenvironment and physiological functions of human organs.
Organ-on-a-chip is expected to have a significant impact on improving the predictability of drug screening models and personalized medicine. Organ-on-a-chip technology supports these research areas by providing an environment that mimics the physiology and morphology of the body better than traditional cell culture methods. By combining technologies from the semiconductor and molecular biology industries, large-scale production of organ-on-a-chip becomes possible.
OrganoLab's work focuses on developing specific human disease models and leveraging our organ-on-a-chip platform to identify new therapeutics and clinical biomarkers, promote drug development, and develop novel drug delivery systems. In addition, OrganoLab researchers are exploring the potential of the technology for personalized medicine by engineering human stem cells that can be differentiated into specialized cell types on chips.
