This session will include abstracts covering the development of chip-based technologies that model cell, tissue, and organ function with minimalist and microscale approaches. This approach could have applications on drug development, augmenting clinical and pre-clinical studies, with an eye toward recreating or partially capturing human physiology. Chip technologies can include microfluidics, cells and biomaterials, dynamic extracellular signals, and perhaps even multiple tissues/organs linked together toward whole-body integration.
