In this project, the researcher has combined human primary breast cancer organoids with adipose tissue to develop an immunocompetent breast cancer-on-chip model. The platform is used to study the interactions between adipose tissue and breast tumor to determine the effect on breast cancer progression. In addition, using patient-specific material, influences of disease states, age or ethnicity can be investigated.
The award is worth 20,000 euros.
