A Mini-Lab to Aid in Individualized Cancer Treatment

Caption

Sensor biochips like this one, developed at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, could be used to establish in the laboratory whether or not a particular cancer drug is likely to work in an individual patient's body. Shown here is a ceramic version of the chip -- just a few millimeters across but packed with sensors.
