Integration of a Novel Biomembrane into a Lung-on-a-Chip Microfluidic Test-Platform

Jeff Jessing, Fort Lewis College

The Lung-on-a-Chip team at Fort Lewis College developed a novel fabrication method to produce a viable porous silicon biomembrane that mimics the functionality of the human interstitial space that separates the alveolar cells and the capillary cells where the gas exchange occurs in the lungs.
