Industry News: MIMETAS Makes Cancer-on-a-Chip A Reality

MIMETAS, the organ-on-a-chip company, will be at the AACR Annual Meeting 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia to present to researchers in the oncology fields the powerful possibilities of advanced 3D cell culture with its innovative products. The company will be announcing the first 3D culture chip to vascularize tissues, from spheroids and organoids to patients’ biopsies and PDX material. This new product will enable researchers to mimic the tumor microenvironment in vitro by grafting tumor tissue in a 3D natural tissue environment.

You can visit MIMETAS at booth 4057 to learn more.
