 What to expect

As cancer researchers continue to face challenges in treating solid tumors like glioblastoma, tumoroid-on-a-chip platforms offer new hope. Dr. Akbari’s team has engineered a microfluidic system that replicates the tumor’s native environment—bridging the gap between 2D cell cultures and in vivo models.

Key highlights include:
  • Development of high-throughput tumoroid-on-plate systems
  • Integration of cellular heterogeneity and ECM structure
  • Realistic immunotherapy screening conditions
  • Use cases in drug development and translational oncology

This innovative platform mimics human tumor physiology more accurately than traditional methods, making it a valuable tool for testing novel therapies and improving clinical translation.
