#037 - Silvia Mihaila: Organ-On-Chip Technology & The Future of Medicine

Today we talked with Silvia Mihaila, Professor of Pharmacology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Her research focus lies in developing organ-on-chip models. These advanced in vitro systems can mimic the structure and function of many different organs. By utilizing these models, researchers can study specific biological processes without relying on animal experimentation, while also integrating multiple components of human physiology. Silvia and her team are particularly interested in studying chronic kidney disease and its impact on other organs in the body.

 

In this episode, we talk all about her organ-on-chip research, the need for standardization & validation with these models, and the overall potential for regenerative medicine and how she is partnering with clinicians to better address the true needs of the people.
