Engineering a Microfluidic Chip for High-Throughput Drug Screening

Quick fact

A single microfluidic chip can run thousands of drug screening experiments simultaneously, using only picoliters of fluid per test—a fraction of the sample required by traditional 96-well plates.

Why this is interesting

Imagine testing 10,000 drug candidates on living cells all in a few hours—using a chip the size of a postage stamp. How do engineers make that possible?
