About
Technology blocks like microfluidics, high-density electrodes, biosensors, lens-free imaging and data analytics allow for highly detailed single-cell prediction of human responses. Currently imec is developing MPS systems for the blood-brain-barrier, brain, heart, gut and lung.
Imec is actively looking for partners to further finetune their organ-on-chip models towards specific applications. Please see below, the activities imec could cover for the selected Health 2026 call topics.
