The MIT Center for Gynepathology Research (CGR, or The Center) focuses on groundbreaking research in three areas, to accelerate earlier diagnosis and more successful treatment of endometriosis: the failure of many patients to respond to any existing therapies. MIT Professor Linda Griffith founded CGR in 2009 with the goal of bringing new The researchers created several versions of their chip, linking up to 10 organ types: liver, lung, gut, endometrium, brain, heart, pancreas, kidney, skin, and skeletal muscle. Each "organ" consists of clusters of 1 million to 2 million cells. These tissues don't replicate the entire organ, but they do perform many of its important functions. 1998- Chair, MIT Biological Engineering Undergraduate Programs Committee ; 1996-2002 Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, MIT ; 1991-1996 Asst.

Health Sci. & Tech; Honors MIT is the epicenter of an international effort to humanize the drug development process, combining efforts to "deconstruct" the patient with multi-omic syst Biography: Prof. Linda G. Griffith received a Bachelor's Degree from Georgia Tech and a PhD degree from the University of California at Berkeley, both in chemical engineering. Griffith's is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, the Popular Science Brilliant 10 Award, NSF Linda Griffith, a bioengineer at MIT, has built silicon scaffolds less than 2 centimetres across and filled them with wells that allow liver cells to grow in three dimensions 7.
