About
Dr. Madlen Matz‑Soja is a pioneering biomedical engineer whose research centers on microfluidic organ‑on‑chip systems, particularly for modeling liver physiology and disease. Her major contribution is the development of the **HepaChip‑MP**, a groundbreaking 24‑chamber microplate that enables continuously perfused, 3D liver co‑culture. This platform uses automated dielectrophoresis to precisely assemble primary human hepatocytes into viable, elongated microtissues, recreating key aspects of hepatic architecture and function in a high‑throughput format. Her work has garnered significant attention, with her flagship paper accumulating **19 citations** and establishing a new standard for liver‑on‑chip technology. By bridging the gap between traditional 2D culture and costly animal models, Matz‑Soja’s innovations offer a powerful tool for drug toxicity screening, metabolic research, and personalized medicine. Her achievements demonstrate a rare ability to integrate microfluidics, tissue engineering, and cell biology, making her a leading voice in the quest for more physiologically relevant in vitro models. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how creative engineering can solve fundamental challenges in biomedical science.
