Tech Blast | Organ-on-a-chip technologies

Bioengineering and biophysics Cell and tissue biology Diagnostics and preclinical Drug discovery and development

In this Tech Blast episode supported by CN Bio (Cambridge, UK), their Lead Scientist Emily Richardson and Principal Bioengineer Dharaminder Singh talk us through organ-on-a-chip (OOC) technologies. From what they are and how they work to what kind of data they provide and their future applications, Emily and Dharaminder provide all the information you need to understand the basics of OOC.

Contents:

  • Introduction: 00:00–00:29
  • Why is OOC in the spotlight right now? 00:29–02:29
  • How does OOC differ from other 3D-cell culture models, such as organoids or spheroids? 02:29–05:10
  • What can OOC technologies be used for? 05:10–07:37
  • What data can you generate using your OOC models and why is this meaningful? 07:37–09:03
  • What should people be looking for if they are looking to adopt this technology? 09:03–12:00
