TToP: A Replica of Human Tissue to Develop New Drugs
A new spin-off company of the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering of the Politecnico di Milano was founded from the TToP – True Tissue on Platform project. Born in 2018 as a master's thesis project in Biomedical Engineering, TToP is a versatile and modular microphysiological platform capable of replicating in vitro the complex physio-pathological conditions of human tissues. This technology makes the process of developing and testing new drugs and treatments more effective and less expensive, while minimizing the use of animal models.
