Our beating Mini-Heart assay provides highly informative clinically relevant readouts, granting in-dept understanding of the effects of compounds on overall cardiac function. The Mini-Heart can be completely tailor-made with regard to heart shape, cell type and disease phenotype.
The development of this technology is funded by €4 Million grant from the EIC-Pathfinder Challenge. This grant will fund the development of a pumping human Mini-heart and swimming human Bio-Robot by a consortium composed of three companies, River BioMedics, NanoScale Systems (Nanoss) GmbH and Metatissue, and two universities, the University of Twente and Universidad de Málaga.
