New technology at the John van Geest Cancer Research Centre
The JvGCRC has recently acquired Emulate’s Organ-Chip technology. This will enable our researchers to recreate human biology within a microphysiological environment. Organs-on-Chip systems have attracted substantial interest in recent years, owing to their potential to provide insights into normal human organ function, and more accurately predict the safety and effectiveness of investigational drugs in humans.
Dedicated cancer researcher Dr Maria Hatziapostolou, who will be leading the Organs-on-Chip facility at the JvGCRC, told us: “Our research will enter the modern era with the use of sophisticated highly sought-after approaches.”
