Bioengineering Organ-on-Chip Research Group at CABR researchers presenting at a university in Brazil
Researchers from the Bioengineering Organ-on-Chip Research Group (OOC) at CABR had the pleasure of travelling to Brazil in May 2025 to present the research they have been conducting in the CABR laboratory at the Universidade Católica de Brasília.
Here are the insights into the topics presented by the Bioengineering Organ-on-Chip Group researchers:
Dr. Emma Murphy (Postdoctoral Researcher & Group Lead) spoke about how at CABR we are using organ-on-chip technology in cosmetics testing, as well as to study diseases such as sepsis. Organ-on-chip is a microfluidic device that mimics the structure and function of human organs.
Dr. Gustavo Fehrenbach (Postdoctoral Researcher) presented insights on CABR research work on scavenging bioactives and how we can evaluate the effectiveness of methods to analyse waste and sustainable resources.
Dr. Tielidy Lima (Postdoctoral Researcher) had the pleasure of presenting CABR research work in the fields of bioeconomy and bioresources. Bioresources describe a diversity of materials derived from, for example, waste stream sources, whereas bioeconomy encompasses the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value-added products, such as food and bioenergy.
Mariana Juca da Silveira e Silva (PhD Researcher), who moved from Brazil to Ireland to pursue her PhD studies, shared insights into the life of a Brazilian student in Ireland.
