Some drugs work effectively, but can damage the heart. At the University of Saarland, a group of molecular cell biologists headed by Peter Lipp has developed an optical approach to drug testing. Another original aspect to their work is that instead of using animal experiments, the scientists at CordiLux work with adult myocardial cell cultures.

Biochips are used to diagnose diseases, test drugs, or search for new cancer therapies. But as useful as they are, the standard production approach is extremely complicated and expensive. Researchers in Heidelberg have thus opted to take an entirely different approach: Printed biochips.
