Could tissue engineering lead to personalized medicine? - Nina Tandon

from TED-Ed · host TED-Ed

Each of our bodies is utterly unique, which is a lovely thought until it comes to treating an illness -- when every body reacts differently, often unpredictably, to standard treatment. Tissue engineer Nina Tandon talks about a possible solution: Using pluripotent stem cells to make personalized models of organs on which to test new drugs and treatments, and storing them on computer chips. (Call it extremely personalized medicine.) Talk by Nina Tandon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
