Georgia Tech biomedical engineering researcher YongTae "Tony" Kim led the development of the blood-brain-barrier on a chip. Here, be is holding up a microfluidic device that mimics a microvessel from other research. Kim is the recipient of the esteemed NIH Director's New Innovator Award for his proposal on high-throughput research to tackle new possible new treatments for atherosclerosis.
