About
The use of new technological approaches including microfluidics and organ-on-chip strategies has permitted the design of advanced in vitro assays to address a variety of questions including in the study of human infections. These new tools provide physiologically relevant infection models, and potentially lead to new insights in our understanding of infection. The “MeningoChip” project aims at recapitulating both the structure and function of tissues infected by Neisseria meningitidis, a bacterium responsible for meningitis and sepsis.
