The laboratory is developing a new method of personalized drug therapy for cancer patients, which includes establishment of a three-dimensional culture of tumor organoids, followed by a personalized test of chemotherapeutic and targeted drugs to determine the most effective therapy for each individual patient.
We maintain cooperation with National Medical Research Radiological Center, Shemyakin–Ovchinnikov Institute of bioorganic chemistry RAS, Scientific and Technical Center BioClinicum and University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.

HSE Daily has published an article about the Second Conference with International Participation, "Experimental and Informational Approaches to the Study of Pathological Conditions," organized by the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems at the HSE Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology

The International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems, in collaboration with the HSE Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, organized and hosted the 2nd conference with international participation titled "Experimental and Computational Approaches to the Study of Pathological Conditions" for HSE students and PhD candidates; the event took place on June 23, 2026, at the HSE Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology.

Testing of the Exodus exosome isolation system (Exodus Bio) has begun at the International Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems
A press release has been released on the HSE website (https://www.hse.ru/news/science/1152167635.html) based on an article about the unique properties of miR-93-5p microRNA (published in the journal PeerJ https://peerj.com/articles/20642/). HSE researchers have discovered an atypical behavior of oncogenic miR-93-5p microRNA in prostate cancer. It turned out that its various isoforms do not change the spectrum of target genes, but rather enhance each other's effects.

Tests of the modern 3D FloTrix MicroSpin bioreactor from Cytoniche, designed for the cultivation of adhesive cells using microcarrier technology, have begun at the international Laboratory of Microphysiological Systems
