About
Olena Tomilova is a biomedical engineer whose research lies at the intersection of microfluidics, tissue engineering, and in vitro liver modeling. Her most notable contribution is the development of the HepaChip-MP, a twenty-four chamber microplate that enables continuous, unidirectional perfusion for liver coculture models. This microfluidic platform uses automated dielectrophoresis to selectively assemble viable cells into elongated microtissues, creating a more physiologically relevant environment for drug testing and toxicology studies. The HepaChip-MP represents a significant advance in organ-on-a-chip technology, offering a high-throughput, standardized alternative to traditional static culture systems. While her citation count is still growing—with her flagship paper accumulating 19 citations—her work has already attracted attention for its potential to reduce animal testing and improve preclinical drug screening. Tomilova’s research demonstrates a commitment to bridging engineering and biology, and her innovations in microplate design and cell assembly techniques position her as an emerging leader in the field of microphysiological systems.
