The use of microchips in clinical trials

Araceli Arias indicated 19.09.2024

The use of microchips in clinical trials involves employing advanced microfluidic devices to replicate and study organ functions in a controlled environment. These microchips simulate physiological processes by integrating living cells and creating a miniature model of human organs. This technology allows researchers to observe drug interactions, disease mechanisms, and treatment responses in a more relevant and detailed manner compared to traditional methods. By providing insights into organ-specific functions and reactions, microchips can enhance drug development, improve treatment accuracy, and reduce reliance on animal testing.
