It is our great pleasure to announce that Prof. Bersini was granted 800’000 chf funding to continue his research on vascular aging. The funded project deals with the “biofabrication” of microscale models of the blood brain barrier through miniaturized systems called “organ-on-a-chip”. Using human vascular cells, the project will allow to build 3D models of…
