Abstract

Vascularized Microphysiological Systems

Abraham Lee, William J. Link Professor and Chair, University of California-Irvine

Introduction to the microfluidic engineering of vascularized microphyiological systems that mimic the in vivo circulatory system at the microscale.  This in vitro model system can be used to screen cancer drugs with vascularized micro organs (VMO) and vascularized micro tumors (VMT).
