Ex Vivo Peripheral Simulating Bioreactor

Completed
Biomedical EngineeringFluid DynamicsControl Systems

A bioreactor system that simulates cardiovascular and biomechanical conditions of peripheral arteries for testing endovascular devices without animal models.

  • Alternative to in-vivo animal testing for endovascular devices
  • Replicates physiological flow conditions
  • Validated through pharmacokinetic studies of drug-eluting stents
  • Published in Bioengineering & Translational Medicine
  • System adopted for ongoing research applications
