Summary |
Our team has developed technology to build lung-on-a-chip with the aim of creating alternatives for animal researchachieving more accuratereliable preclinical experimental data.The chip's rapideffective screening ability will help the clinical community to reduce costsdrastically shorten the drug-development process.

Scientific Breakthrough |
Scientific breakthroughs:
(1) Individualized biomimetics
(2) Health impacts of air pollution
(3) Diversifiedrich data
(4) Simplification of technological requirement
Compared with organ-on-a-chip companies newly established in EUAmerica, our technology can better simulate the actual level of the tissuesorgans, while also developing an even more innovative alveolargas exposure system. |
Industrial Applicability |
This technology is intended to be integrated with the local resources of Taiwan, encouraging related biochip/drug development/animal experiment industries. As new companies with only 1-2 core technologies may face severe domesticforeign competition. Our platform promises to integrateprovide opportunities to transformbuild upon existing strengths by collaborating in the development of biomimetic chipsprecision medicine.
