Recognition for research on LymphChip sensors
The joint poster of Pratik Tawade and Germaine Aalderink from LymphChip and Jia-Jun Yeh from SmartOoC was rewarded with one of the three best poster prizes at the TRANSDUCERS 2025 conference in Orlando, Florida. The poster highlights the development of a biocompatible sensor to measure the integrity of tissue barriers suited for a standardized and modular organ-on-chip platform.
Furthermore, the review paper by Pratik Tawade and Massimo Mastrangeli entitled “Integrated Electrochemical and Optical Biosensing in Organs-on-Chip” was selected by ChemBioChem for the annual Readers’ Choice campaign featuring the most popular articles from 2023 and 2024 in terms of citations, downloads, and social media activity. Throughout 2025, emails from ChemBioChem will contain a link to the landing page where all selected papers are showcased and the article itself is tagged with “ChemBioChem Readers’ Choice 2025”. The article was also recognized as the “Top Viewed Article” in ChemBioChem, as it has ranked within the top 10% of most-viewed papers published by the journal in 2023-24.
