Magnetic Artificial Cilia (MAC) are micrometer-sized hair-like structures inspired by cilia occurring in nature. The MAC are polymeric magnetic micro-actuators that respond to a varying magnetic field, and thus create a controlled fluid flow. The key advantage of MAC is that the cilia movement can be controlled remotely, allowing for fluid handling in small volumes without direct connection by tubes or wires. The Microsystems group of Eindhoven University of Technology, led by Prof. Jaap den Toonder (TUe), has been a pioneer in developing MAC. The MAC have been demonstrated in different microfluidic applications such as mixing, pumping, sensing, and particle manipulation. In this project we will be working on the development of MAC as modular flow system for Organ-on-a-chip, specifically focusing on further validation of the technology, on larger scale manufacturability and finding partnerships for testing of the new prototype.
