INNo-CHIP: Cross-Border Synergy Accelerating the Future of Biomedical Innovation
FEMTOPRINT is proud to play a key role in INNo-CHIP, a visionary cross-border initiative designed to elevate the biomedical sector through strategic collaboration between the Alto Adige (South Tyrol) region and the Canton of Ticino.
By uniting research, innovation, and cutting-edge technology, INNo-CHIP aims to accelerate preclinical research, optimize R&D (Research & Development) costs, and significantly enhance translational outcomes. At the core of this transformation lies a disruptive platform: organ-on-chip (OoC) technology.
A New Standard in Preclinical Modeling
Traditional in vitro and in vivo models, while useful, often fall short in replicating the complex physiological responses of the human body. OoC platforms—miniaturized microfluidic systems that mimic the structure and function of human organs—are rapidly becoming the gold standard in preclinical research.
These bioengineered systems offer unparalleled physiological relevance, making them indispensable tools for drug discovery, toxicology, and personalized medicine. By enabling controlled, dynamic environments, OoC technology supports more accurate modeling of human tissue interfaces, reducing animal testing and enhancing predictive validity.
Key Advantages of OoC Platforms:
The project’s mission is to create a sustainable, high-impact interregional cluster specialized in biomedical research and advanced microtechnologies, enabling faster access to next-generation therapeutic testing platforms.
