Q Chip Ltd

This collaboration between the School of Biosciences and Q Chip, a University spin-out company, developed a ‘micro-lung’ using human waste tissue retrieved during lung and heart surgery.  

Q Chip and the Cardiff School of Bioscience’s mutual interest in the use of polymer composites for biological assays led to the development of a ground-breaking method for growing human cells which demonstrate natural cellular behaviour.

In 2010 Q Chip Ltd won the Innovation Award with Cardiff School of Biosciences for this collaboration.
