In order to generate innovative products that help improve diagnostic as well as analytical processes, microfluidic ChipShop dedicates its year-long expertise in the field of microfluidics to research projects on a regular basis. Below we introduce our contribution to ongoing research projects.
Our Research Projects
ARTHROSIS-ON-A-CHIP
System Engineering and Validation of a Microphysiological System Platform for Disease Modeling of Osteoarthrosis – Arthrosis-on-a-Chip
Project Information
- Funded by: EFRE – Program 2021-2027 Thuringia
- Grant agreement ID: 1000237/ 2023 VFE 0043
- Project period: 01.12.2023 – 30.11.2026
- Project partners: Uniklinikum Jena, IBA Heiligenstadt
The aim of the research project “Arthrose-on-a-Chip” is to develop a chip-based arthrosis model. In this process, arthrosis, i.e., cartilage damage, is artificially induced on the chip. Subsequently, potential active substances can be tested on it. This system is intended to contribute to the reduction or even replacement of animal testing in the future.
The project “System Engineering and Validation of a Microphysiological System Platform for Disease Modeling of Osteoarthrosis – Arthrosis-on-a-Chip” is co-financed by the Free State of Thuringia with funds from the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE).
