Presentation at Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress & 3D Culture 2017

Dr. Matthew Hancock spoke at the Organ-on-a-Chip World Congress & 3D Culture 2017, which took place in Boston, MA on July 10-11, 2017.  Dr. Hancock's presentation was titled "Modeling and Simulation of Microfluidic Organ-on-a-Chip Devices."  Modeling and simulation are key components of the engineering development process, providing a rational, systematic method to engineer and optimize products and dramatically accelerate the development cycle.  For microfluidic organ-on-chip devices, modeling and simulation can inform the design and integration of common components such as micropumps, manifolds, and channel networks.  Dr. Hancock discussed how an array of modeling tools such as scaling arguments, analytical formulas, and finite element simulations may be leveraged to address these microfluidic organ-on-a-chip device development issues.  Learn more about the conference and Dr. Hancock’s presentation.
