Combining microfabrication techniques with modern tissue engineering, lung-on-a-chip offers an in vitro approach to drug screening.

 

“In just a little more than two years, we’ve gone from unveiling the initial design of the lung-on-a-chip to demonstrating its potential to model a complex human disease, which we believe provides a glimpse of what drug discovery and development might look like in the future,” Ingber says.
