Microfluidics and Organ-on-a-chip: overcoming the limitations of traditional in vitro platforms
Nowadays, we can use new technologies to build complex platforms for the study of human physiology and pathology. Microfluidics represents a novel approach to recreate human tissues and organs on a chip. In this talk Alessandra Dellaquila introduces what microfluidics is, how it works and why it is a powerful tool for the development of Organ-on-a-chip platforms.
Alessandra Dellaquila is a 3rd year PhD student currently working on the European project DeLIVER ( Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Grant Agreement No. 766181).
She is carrying her PhD at Elvesys Microfluidics Innovation Center in collaboration with Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (INSERM).
The talk is in Italian.
