MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541091047 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology Madras Iit Madras on September 23, 2025, for On-Chip Microfluidic Model For Evaluating Neurotoxicity Of Anti-Cancer Drugs In A Cancer–neuron Co-Culture System.
Inventors include Santra, Tuhin Subhra; Rao, Suresh Ranga; Bera, Amal Kanti; Narayanan, Iyer Gomathy; and P, Preyanka..
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: ON-CHIP MICROFLUIDIC MODEL FOR EVALUATING NEUROTOXICITY OF ANTI-CANCER DRUGS IN A CANCER–NEURON CO-CULTURE SYSTEM The microfluidic device design is created to understand the complex crosstalk between cancer and neuronal cells. It provides a more physiologically relevant alternative to traditional 2D cultures and animal models, thus reducing the overall cost, ethical concerns and improves the prediction outcomes. The chip enables compartmentalized co-culture of neuronal and tumor cells, that allow analysis of drug-induced neural responses using calcium and electrophysiology studies.
