  • Funding Body: Baden-Württemberg Foundation
  • Date: June, 2018

Project Story

This project is led by the Loskill lab of the University Women's Hospital Tübingen. His group is focused on the creation of the microfluidic heart valve chip. The creation of the biological heart valve tissue is led be the Schenke-Layland lab. Together, they we will create a heart valve on a chip for the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in heart valve disease.
