EVATAR is a female reproductive tract that fits in the palm of one’s hand. Each divided compartment within the cube contains a 3-D model of a different part of the reproductive tract, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina and liver. The blue fluid pumps through each compartment and performs the function of blood. Ultimately, the goal is to use stem cells of an individual patient and create a personalized model of their reproductive system to test new drugs for safety and effectiveness.
