Making Biorisk Measurable: A Bayesian Framework for Laboratory Risk Management
Purpose: Biosafety risk assessment traditionally relies on categorical scales embodied by the four World Health Organization (WHO) Risk Groups (RGs) and biocontainment levels. Mapping such categories to quantitative metrics is an open problem for the field: the classifications ar...

Chamber-Design-Associated I n Situ Formation of HepG2 Spheroids in a Perfusable Organ-on-a-Chip
Abstract Perfused spheroid platforms enable continuous mass transport, but the role of chamber architecture in in situ spheroid assembly remains insufficiently understood. Here, we developed a perfusable organ-on-a-chip platform for the in situ formation and culture of HepG2 sphe...
