Pinak Samal receives Kootstra Talent Fellowship

Congratulations to Pinak Samal for receiving the Kootstra Talent Fellowship Fall 2021 for his "Organizing the organizers: Artificial signaling centers to control stem cell patterning" project!

The project aims at the development of a new microfluidic system, called NeuroCardio Chip, to investigate the crosstalk between developing neurocardiac tissues at early stages of embryonic development and to study how diseases potentially affect these interactions. The development of this new microfluidic stem cell-based in vitro model will benefit disease modelling and precision medicine in future.
