Laura Benito-Zarza pitched her master thesis work today during the Nordic Organ-on-Chip networking event and won one of the best pitch awards, consisting of a travel grant in the Nordics to expand her network and experience in the Organ-on-Chip field. She is supervised by Dr. Julia Rogal and Dr. Alessandro Enrico and working to develop a hiPSC-derived microvascularized tissue model to recapitulate in vivo complexity for the study and treatment of complex diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
Congratulations Laura!
