Natural and Medical Science Institute at the University Tübingen (NMI), Germany

The Organ-on-a-Chip group headed by Prof. Dr. Peter Loskill focuses on i) the development of human microphysiological platforms and generation of functional 3D tissue models from isolated primary human cells and pluripotent stem cells, ii) on the application of OoC for pharmaceutical research, toxicological screening, and mechanistic studies, specifically towards woman’s health, as well as iii) on the development of enabling technologies for OoC that support parallelization, automation and ease of use. The NMI offers clean room and microfabrication facilities, state of the art cell culture, biomaterial and specialized biomicrofluidic laboratories, and various types of microscopy techniques.

Role in the project: Coordination, Organ-on-a-Chip Developer, Cardiac and adipose tissue engineering
