The mission of the laboratory is to carry out research and teaching in the fields of experimental biofluid-dynamics and development of devices for treating or modeling biological tissues/fluids at different scales.
The laboratory is articulated into one main common facility, plus three thematic labs, which are aimed at specific research activities, featuring dedicated equipment:

• μBS Core Lab is the main common laboratory, devoted to carrying out experimental biofluid dynamics activities. It is also endowed with general-purpose equipment for additive and subtractive rapid prototyping. Responsible: Gianfranco B. Fiore, gianfranco.fiore@polimi.it.

• Th-Lab - Laboratory for the analysis of Thrombogenicity. Th-Lab is devoted to the analysis of the thrombogenic potential of blood-contacting medical devices, with specific emphasis on shear-mediated platelet activation. Responsible: Silvia Bozzi, silvia.bozzi@polimi.it.

• MiMic Lab - Microfluidics and Biomimetic Microsystems Laboratory. MiMic Lab develops innovative microfluidic technologies for biological applications. Responsible: Marco Rasponi, marco.rasponi@polimi.it.

• ATTiC Lab - Advanced technologies for tissue culture Lab. ATTiC Lab develops advanced culture systems for native and engineered tissues as ex-vivo models for basic and applied laboratory studies. Responsible: Monica Soncini, monica.soncini@polimi.it.

μBS Lab also works in close contact with FoRCardioLab, a joint initiative of PoliMI researchers with the Fondazione per la Ricerca in Cardiochirurgia ONLUS and Università degli Studi di Milano (reference person Riccardo Vismara, riccardo.vismara@polimi.it)
