The Lung-on-a Chip developed with the ARTORG Center of the University of Bern has just been published in Nature Scientific Reports. This advanced in-vitro system mimics the lung alveolar barrier in an unprecedented way, using a 3 micrometer thin, flexible and porous membrane that is cyclically deflected by a micro diaphragm, like in the lung. This...

For her work in the field of Replacement methodology, the first RE-Place Best Poster award has been awarded to Dr. Nuria Roldan at the EUROTOX 2018 conference. The poster entitled “Acute lung injury on-chip: building a disease predictive model that emulates alveolar biomechanics”, summarizes the development of a model for acute lung injury-on-chip, a project...

Great honor for Janick Stucki, CTO at AlveoliX! He was invited to present the AlveoliX lung-on-chip at the TEDxBern on 31st August 2018. TEDxBern is introduced amazing and surprising Bernese ideas in 2018 again. The speakers know: ‘ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE’. They are developing new ideas, exploring combinations of tried and tested ideas, crossing borders and...

We are very happy to share that AlveoliX Lung-on-Chip patent has been accepted by the US Patent Office. Our lung-on-chip uniquely mimics the lung alveolar barrier, including the rhythmic mechanical strain induced by the three-dimensional breathing movements.
