Human Organs-on-a-Chip Technology

Dr. Mohanan FNASc, is the Head of the Division of Toxicology, Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (Govt. of India). He is a visiting professor and visiting researcher at Toyo University, Japan and a Certified Biological Safety Specialist. Previously, he was a JSPS Post doctoral Fellow at the University of Tsukuba, Japan in the field of Neurotoxicity. He joined Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST), Govt. of India in 1989 and has spent 33 years of professional life working there. As a toxicologist he has been intimately associated with all the medical devices/technologies developed at SCTIMST. He received the lifetime achievement award from the Society of Toxicology India, for the outstanding contribution in the field of toxicology. He also patented an ELISA kit for the measurement of pyrogenicity. Mohanan made significant contributions for the development of medical device regulations in India. He has authored 231 publications and edited 6 books. Presently he is the secretary general of the Society of Toxicology, India.
