IPGG – Pierre-Gilles de Gennes Institute

It is first and foremost the institute for micro-fluidics (the science of manipulating fluids on a micrometric scale), a young, interdisciplinary field of research with numerous, fast-growing applications. The manufacture of organs-on-a-chip requires the use of micro-fluidic technology.
