The Netherlands Organ-on-Chip Initiative project
In our ageing society, it is more important than ever to develop treatments for devastating chronic diseases. Yet, what appears promising in the lab, often falls short in the clinical practice.
We aim to develop new platforms to better predict the effect of medicines, based on a combination of human stem cells and microchips. In this way, we learn much more about the development of diseases and accelerate the discovery of new medicines.
The Netherlands Organ-on-Chip Initiative is an NWO Gravitation project funded by the Ministry of Education, culture and Science of the government of the Netherlands.
