Abstract

Many in-vitro systems used during pre-clinical trials fail to recreate the biological complexity of the in-vivo neural microenvironment.Taking advantage of recent advances in microfluidic technology, we seek to develop a perfusion based drug discovery platform that is capable of high-throughput pharmacological profiling. This in turn will allow us to better understand how drugs influence the communication between functionally connected neural networks.
