MetaChip provides quick, efficient toxicity screening of potential drugs
This story is from the category Health
Date posted: 24/01/2005
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have created a biotech chip that behaves exactly like the human liver, highlighting with a swiftness never before possible whether or not a potential new drug has any toxicity effects.
"The MetaChip would allow testing a backlog of compounds for toxicity earlier in the drug discovery process ? faster and more efficiently ? and help remove a current bottleneck in the drug discovery process," said Douglas S. Clark, professor of chemical engineering at UC Berkeley.
