About
Sara Previdi is a leading researcher in the field of vascularized tissue engineering, with a primary focus on developing advanced in vitro models of the human liver. Her most impactful work, the 2022 paper “In vitro grafting of hepatic spheroids and organoids on a microfluidic vascular bed,” has already garnered 108 citations, reflecting its significance in overcoming a critical bottleneck in hepatic tissue modeling: the lack of functional vasculature. Previdi’s major contribution is the introduction of a pioneering platform that enables the routine grafting of liver spheroids and organoids onto a microfluidic vascular bed grown in vitro. This innovation allows for the creation of more physiologically relevant liver models, bridging the gap between simple organoid cultures and complex, vascularized human tissues. By addressing the challenge of vascularization, her work has profound implications for drug screening, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine. Previdi’s research not only advances our understanding of liver organogenesis and regeneration but also provides a scalable tool for the broader tissue engineering community, positioning her as a key figure in the next generation of organ-on-a-chip technology.
