Researchers from ETH Zürich have carried out a systematic analysis to explore the knowledge ecosystem of Organ-on-Chip innovation in Europe (2003-2022) along four analytic dimensions: publication trends, research organizations, research funding and policy trends. According to the study, the knowledge ecosystem of Organ-on-Chip research in Europe has been growing sustainably. This growth is due to relevant institutional diversity, public-private initiatives, and ongoing research collaborations supported by robust funding schemes.
In the Netherlands, the University of Twente, Utrecht University, and Leiden University Medical Center are the top-ranked research organizations in terms of the number of publications, with 132, 121, and 107 publications, respectively. The University Medical Center Utrecht and the University of Maastricht are also active in the field, with 81 and 78 publications, respectively. Additionally, the company Mimetas, responsible for the development of an early successful Organ-On-Chip, has 61 publications.
