Vessel-on-a-chip platforms are sophisticated in vitro models designed to recapitulate the complex structural and functional characteristics of human vasculature. By integrating microfluidics with tissue engineering, we provide a controllable environment to study vascular physiology and pathology in high resolution.
Physiological Recapitulation of Human Vessels: We develop advanced microfluidic systems that mimic 3D angiogenic sprouting, vessel perfusion, and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). These platforms allow us to overcome the limitations of conventional 2D cultures and animal models by providing human-relevant physiological contexts.
Next-Generation Therapeutic Screening: Our research utilizes these "Organs-on-chips" to evaluate the efficacy of diverse therapeutic modalities, including drug delivery systems and immune cell therapies. By monitoring the real-time "Cancer-Vessel-Immune" interactions within the chip, we aim to accelerate the development of precision medicine and personalized treatment strategies.
