Organ Chips and the Future of Medicine

  • サマリー

  • In this episode of Frontiers of Science, we welcome Dr. Donald Ingber, director of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. Dr. Ingber takes us on a fascinating journey into the world of organ-on-a-chip technology—a groundbreaking innovation that's revolutionizing medical research and drug testing.

    We delve into how these microfluidic devices, lined with living human cells, mimic the functions of real human organs, offering more accurate and humane alternatives to animal testing. From the headline-making vagina-on-a-chip and the use of a cigarette-smoking robot to advancements in sepsis prevention and radiation research, Dr. Ingber shares insights into how his team's work is pushing the boundaries of biomedical engineering.

    Join us as we explore how these innovations are not only accelerating the development of safer drugs but also have the potential to save countless lives by addressing critical health issues more effectively.
