Linked Organ Chips

Caption

In this graphic, the Wyss Institute's human Body-on-Chip system is layered on top of Leonardo da Vinci's ink drawing of the "Vitruvian Man", which represents ideal human body proportions. The researchers used a computational scaling method to translate data obtained from drug experiments in the human Body-on-Chip to the organ dimensions of the real human body.
