Our Global Network

Collaborations spanning Europe and beyond — hover over markers to explore our partners.

Research Projects

EU-funded consortia coordinated by the MiMic Lab, developing breakthrough organ-on-chip technologies for precision medicine and drug discovery.

PHOENIX

PHOENIX

Horizon Europe2025–2028 · Coordinator

Precision Human Organs-on-chip for Enhanced Neuro-muscular and Cardiac Studies

PHOENIX aims to revolutionise biomedical research by developing the next generation of human-based Organs-on-Chips. Two platforms will be developed: μHeart, to model functional cardiac tissues, and μNMC to model neuro-muscular circuits — both integrating real-time electric recording, force sensing, and mechanical stimulation.
