MicroOrganChip

The Microtechnology and Organ-on-a-Chip Systems Research Group is operating in the Department of Medical Biotechnology of the Faculty of Chemistry at the Warsaw University of Technology. Research concerns the development of microfluidic systems (Organ-on-a-Chip systems) for cell engineering with clinical and biomedical applications. We develop Organ-on-a-Chip systems with 3D models (based on spheroids, organoids, hydrogels, scaffolds) of different organs, i.e., the liver, heart, neurovascular unit, breast, ovary, and intestine. The research also concerns the study of molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways in tumor and stem cell-based models. We are also working under the new technologies and alternative (bio)materials useful in microtechnology. The Organ-on-a-Chip systems developed in our team allow to obtain new data on cell biology and they could be served as platforms in personalized medicine.
