In a significant leap toward revolutionizing the treatment of brain diseases, the collaboration between Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) researcher Rafael Davalos and Phase, a frontrunner in 3D printing technology for organ-on-chip models, marks a fundamental advance in the field. Using a two-year $1.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this partnership is making advances to recreate a blood-brain barrier model with 3D printing. This innovation promises to pave the way for new therapies to treat neurological diseases and brain cancer by improving the process of drug testing and development.

The challenge of creating effective treatments for neurological conditions and brain cancer lies in the complexity of the human brain and the protective blood-brain barrier that...
