Hello I am trying this out! My lab at the Univ of Virginia develops models of the immune system, using #microfluidics, #OrgansOnChip, #analytical chemistry and #FluorescenceMicroscopy to study behaviors in the lymph node. Hello #ChemSky #ImmunoSky #WomenInSTEM #DEIsky!

Big congrats to Dr. Yoojin Lee for her new NIH Career Re-Entry Supplement Award, funding her research AND her career through 2028! She'll be integrating human lymphoid models into our #OrgansOnChip for multi-tissue immunity. Thank you to NIH and NIAID! #WomenInSTEM

Please share! Please RT: We are recruiting! If you are interested in multi-organ #OrgansOnChip, models of immunity or #ImmunoEngineering, vaccination, or brain immunity, and want to join a collegial and supportive lab, then we can't wait to read your application!

Platelets: protective or pro-inflammatory? Both.

This vessel-on-a-chip study shows they:
• ↑ permeability & immune cell migration
• ↓ RBC leakage

How do you explain organ-on-a-chip to kids?

You make it interactive 🎯

Great session by our scientists Jade and Marleen at Rijksmuseum Boerhaave – sparking curiosity in the next generation of scientists.

Kidney biology in 3D 🔬

Tubuloids + microfluidics = perfused, polarized tubules with functional transporters.

A more human-relevant way to study renal function & drug interactions.
