Geraldine Hamilton: Body parts on a chip (2013x229)

Data emisji: Gru 03, 2013

In this well-explained talk, Geraldine Hamilton shows how her lab creates organs and body parts on a chip, simple structures with all the pieces essential to testing new medications — even custom cures for one specific person.
