Defense Department funds tech to test organ tissue in lieu of humans

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with funding from the Department of Defense, want to speed up the clinical trial process with a device that could enable researchers to test new drugs on organ tissue grown in a lab instead of on humans and animals. MIT Professor Linda Griffith leads the effort and joins Hari Sreenivasan.
