In this episode, Don Ingber talks with Helen Osborne about:

• How organ-on-chip and “human body on chips” technologies are built and how they realistically mimic human organ function by combining living cells, blood flow, and mechanical forces like breathing and stretch.
• The implications of these chips for hematology and clinical care, including modeling coagulation and thrombosis, predicting drug responses and toxicities, advancing personalized medicine, and reducing reliance on animal models.
• His transdisciplinary journey blending science, art, engineering, and design, and why breaking down disciplinary boundaries is essential for transformative discovery, innovation, and teaching.
