> Human stem cell-derived organoids have become a major focus of biomedical research because they enable patient-specific studies of how tissues respond to drugs and emerging therapies. Labs in academia and industry have developed these tissue constructs over the years, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has initiated funding streams to accelerate work in this direction. A key missing component is hardware technology that can interrogate, stimulate and manipulate these tiny analogs to organs in the human body.
