“Novel drug discovery efforts suffer from increasing costs and low probability of clinical trial success. Organ-on-chip technology has the potential to greatly aid the development of new therapies,” according to a new research paper led by Draper and Pfizer. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (PRWEB) April 13, 2021 As models of organs on-a-chip (OOC) become major tools to aid drug discovery, toxicity screening and efficacy testing, scientists are making progress in developing clinically predictive test environments for these tiny tissue models. Now, a series of proof of concept experiments led by Draper a
