About
Dr. Jana Moer is a pioneering bioengineer whose work centers on microfluidic organ-on-chip platforms, particularly for liver tissue engineering. Her major contribution is the development of the HepaChip-MP, a groundbreaking twenty-four chamber microplate that enables continuously perfused liver coculture models. This innovative system uses automated dielectrophoresis to selectively assemble viable primary human hepatocytes into elongated microtissues, creating a more physiologically relevant in vitro environment for drug testing and disease modeling. Her 2020 paper on this platform has garnered 19 citations, establishing a foundation for high-throughput, reproducible liver-on-chip studies. By integrating microfluidics with precise cell manipulation, Dr. Moer addresses critical challenges in recapitulating liver function outside the body, offering a powerful tool for reducing animal testing and accelerating pharmaceutical development. Her work stands at the intersection of microfabrication, cell biology, and biomedical engineering, making her a key figure in advancing the next generation of organ-on-a-chip technologies for translational research and personalized medicine.
