Engineering Immune Organoids: An Interview With Prof. Ankur Singh From Cornell University

Organ-on-a-chip technologies are redefining the way in which in vitro models help understand and recapitulate the in vivo environment. The immune system is particularly difficult to model in an in vitro environment because of the complexity of biological, mechanical, and chemical cues that modulate the immune cells. Prof. Ankur Singh, an assistant professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University, has led the development of organ-on-a-chip models to mimic the complex immune environment.
