Development of a functional 3D eccrine sweat gland-on-chip model
About the speaker:
Holly Bachas Brook completed her PhD in the lab of Professor John Connelly and Professor Thomas Iskratsch at Queen Mary, University of London. Her doctoral project focused on developing a functional organ-on-chip model of the human eccrine sweat gland (ESG), incorporating a novel ESG cell line into an engineered microfluidic scaffold, then investigating cellular function via functional marker staining and live cell imaging assays. She has experience in microfabrication, optimizing cell culture within microfluidic devices and 3D in vitro culture systems, confocal microscopy and live-cell imaging. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge, investigating host-pathogen interactions in 3D in vitro models of the maternal-foetal interface.
