Startup develops chip for drug screening of cancer patients
The New Indian Express
|March 10, 2023
CHENNAI-based startup ISMO Bio-Photonics has developed a palm-sized 3D-printed microfluidic chip to provide personalized drug screening for cancer patients.
The chip mimics the functions of an organ with a cell, and bioreactors. They have also developed an artificial intelligence-based model that can detect cancerous cells and find the efficiency of drugs. "We can find the right drugs in two weeks, contrary to the trial-and-error method currently used to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs, which could take months and has a low success rate," Ikram Khan, founder and CEO of the startup told TNIE.
