Original message by Alan White from the alicebot-list:


In her MIT laboratory, Linda Griffith has built a machine with the pulse =
of
life.

Inside a circular box just larger than a watch face, she has built what =
she
hopes will be tomorrow's poison detector: a teeming colony of liver =
cells on
a tiny wafer of silicon.

...

"We hope to someday build the human body on a chip," said Griffith,
associate professor of bioengineering and chemical engineering at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
