Creating and Commercializing a Human 'Body Cube' for Testing New Drugs

The organs of the human body can be simulated using the body cube, a schematic of which appears on the right. The body cube is a human body mimic that lets us test how drugs and other substances interact with different cells in the body, which helps researchers study their toxicity in the body in a safe way.

Growing up, I always had a love for living things, so I went off to college and got an undergraduate degree in biology. After that, I realized I wanted to specialize in an area that could help people live better lives and conquer diseases, so I decided to get a Ph.D. in biotechnology.
