Interests
I am fascinated by organ-on-a-chip technology, particularly its application in testing microplastics' toxicity and behaviour. Using an intestinal organ-on-chip, I would like to study the penetration of microplastics into the blood and vascular system. This innovative approach can help analyse potential toxicity and thrombi formation, providing crucial insights into the health impacts of microplastics. The precision and realism of organ-on-a-chip models offer a promising pathway for understanding and mitigating the risks posed by microplastics to human health.Publications
