Paving the way for High-throughput Organoid ENgineering using Integrated acoustiX
The aim of PHOENIX is to use my expertise in microsystems engineering to close critical technology gaps in organoid generation. Cerebral organoids are 3D self-assembled structures derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, replicating both structure and function of the human foetal brain. Organoids have the potential to replace existing 2D cell cultures and animal models, but this has not yet been realised due to rudimentary preparation methods. In PHOENIX, three important technology gaps will be addressed: reproducibility, controlled maturation and vascularisation. I aim to build on my pioneering research on droplet acoustofluidics and the scientific output of my ERC Starting Grant…
