Descripción

Body-on-a-Chip: Essentials and Applications provides the reader high-quality information, in a single resource, that is necessary to explore the use of BOC systems from design and development to testing and personalized medicine, to medical research and diagnostics. BOC systems can recapitulate native tissue/ organ architecture, diffusion kinetics of drugs physiological flow conditions etc., similar to what would happen in the body, they are particularly powerful in predicting human efficacy prior to clinical testing of a drug, determining potential toxicity, or in clinical studies to test underlying mechanisms or action or adverse effects. With recent advancements in high-throughput analysis systems and artificial intelligence, it has also become possible to screen several drugs at a time.

Anthony Atala

Anthony Atala, MD, is the G. Link Professor and Director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Seventeen of his lab’s technologies have been translated to patients, including the first tissue-engineered organ for permanent implantation in a human. His research led to the discovery of a multipotent source of stem cells from amniotic fluid and placenta, advances in 3D printing of tissues and organs, and body-on-a-chip technologies. His work was twice listed among Time Magazine’s top 10 medical breakthroughs of the year, and he is a recipient of the Smithsonian Ingenuity Award. He has published over 900 journal articles, is the editor of 25 books, and holds over 250 national and international patents. Dr. Atala is a member of the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Inventors, and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
