“Organs-on-chips should aid in translating molecular therapeutic effects into patient treatments.”

Roos Masereeuw is professor of Experimental Pharmacology at Utrecht University.

The work of Prof Roos Masereeuw and her research group focuses on understanding the pathways that can be pharmacologically triggered to enhance repair and regeneration processes after organ injury. For this, humanized in vitro systems are being applied that functionally mimic (patients) organs. It includes the use of innovative technologies for 3-dimensional advanced tissue cultures such as organs-on-chips. Masereeuw aims to develop new regenerative treatments and innovations in functional and safe replacement therapies for failing organs.
