Unraveling the complexities of human health requires models and tools that closely mirror human physiology.

Microphysiological Systems (MPS) represent a transformative approach to culturing and studying human tissues under conditions that closely mimic the natural physiological environment. MPS technology facilitates the replication of biochemical, electrical, and mechanical responses essential for accurately simulating in vivo conditions and allows for the precise modeling of specific properties intrinsic to tissue function and disease states. The Hopkins Center for MPS is dedicated to fostering collaboration and providing cutting-edge technologies to our vibrant MPS research community.

Deok-Ho Kim receives award from the international society of biofabrication

“Imagine if after a serious accident, your damaged facial bones could be replaced with tissue made by your own cells. Or if you could pop a pill that could reprogram your immune system to fight a chronic disease, freeing you from a lifetime of medications. While both prospects sound futuristic, scientists and engineers at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere are working toward these and other advances in tissue engineering. “
