Description

Human Organs-on-Chip: Novel Organ-on-a-Chip Techniques in Medicine paves the way for novel approaches that push forward in-vitro and in-vivo studies and fills a gap between laboratory and clinical use. The book's experienced authors share the knowledge they’ve developed with over a decade of research with organ-on-chips and multi-organ-on-chips. The book collects all of the developments in the field and sheds new light on possibilities to develop human on-chip measurement methods with the utilization of currently available measurement techniques including both invasive and non-invasive tests. This book will serve as a starting point for young researchers who are beginning their scientific journeys.

Javier Ramón-Azcón

In 2011, Prof. Javier Ramón-Azcón was hired by the Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) at Tohoku University (Japan) as Assistant Researcher to develop new biomaterials with engineered tissue. After two years, he was promoted to Assistant Professor in AIMR, leading a research group focused on integrating biosensor technology with stem cell, biomaterials, and tissue engineering. In 2017, he became Junior Group Leader at the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) after obtaining the prestigious ERC- Starting Grant. In 2020, he was appointed Professor by the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA) and Senior Group Leader based on their successful and promising scientific trajectory. From 2017 and 2020, he has attracted more than €3.5M in competitive funding, including the coordination of a FET-Open project. Currently, he is supervising five postdocs, for Ph.D. students, and three MSC students
