Abstract :
[en] Drug development is an expensive and time-consuming process and many diseases still cannot be treated effectively by drugs currently available. In this context, microfluidics offer many benefits that may tackle current challenges of drug development. Indeed, microfluidic platforms have been recently developed to improve and accelerate all the steps in drug development, from the target discovery to the postmarketing quality control. This chapter will be focused on three aspects in drug development where microfluidic technology plays a key role: biomarker discovery, preclinical studies, including microsampling and organ-on-a-chip-devices, and drug delivery systems. For each section, a general overview is provided and several representative examples are described.© 2022 Elsevier B.V.
