On generating spin-off activities in the Organ-on-Chip field
New three-dimensional cardiac in vitro models based on human pluripotent stem cells are a promising technology to be used for the discovery and development of novel cardiac drugs. In this talk, a comprehensive perspective on the symbiotic relationship between academia and the practical translation of research will be given. Particularly, on the interplay between high-tech research and entrepreneurial innovation, offering insights into the challenges, opportunities, and collaborative synergies that drive progress in the heart-on-chip field.
