Cada um de nossos corpos é completamente único, o que é um pensamento adorável até que se chegue ao tratamento de uma doença - quando cada corpo reage de maneira diferente, geralmente de forma imprevisível, aos tratamentos comuns. A engenheira de tecidos Nina Tandon fala sobre uma solução possível: usar células-tronco pluripotentes para criar modelos personalizados de orgãos para testar novos remédios e tratamentos, e armazená-los em chips de computador.

Nina Tandon studies ways to use electrical signals to grow artificial tissues for transplants and other therapies. Full bio »
