Metastasis Exploration in the Bone Microenvironment - Breast Cancer Edition

Description

METABONE is a collaborative research project that is all about creating a 3D model in a lab to explore how breast cancer spreads to the bones. To do this, we are using robots to automate tiny tasks and clever liquid capsules that act like mini-labs. The goal is to get an accurate picture of the complex bone environment. This platform is not only better than animals but also makes drug testing quicker and more reliable. In the end, the project aims to give us a better understanding of how metastasis works and help make treatments better for patients who have problems with their bones.
