Steering group
The ten research groups collaborating in SMART OoC are strongly connected through the Dutch Organ on Chip consortium hDMT. The groups collaborate on a conceptually novel solution to leverage OoC technology for industrial implementation and utilization, in line with the European OoC roadmap. The research groups will contribute the following expertise.
