BIOBRAIN CHIP. “Draper, a spinoff from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and USF are using embryonic cells from rats, but researchers plan to use human cells in the future. The brain-on-a-chip combines several technologies, including an emerging field called microfluidics.DARPA recently awarded a contract to Draper through MIT. Draper is working on various projects such as a human-on-a-chip, brain-on-a-chip, liver-on-a-chip, and a kidney-on-a-chip.””
