1. A method of making a modular microfluidic device, comprising:
layering a top and a bottom layer of the modular microfluidic device with a transparent material;
fabricating a porous membrane between the top and bottom layer to form a cell growth compartment;
etching a compartmentalized fluidic system to integrate flow of a fluidic material between the cell growth compartment; and
creating a semi porous wall around the cell growth compartment to contain a growth media for a different type of cells to mimic the human body system.
