Ropirio: Novel Treatments Targeting the Lymphatic System
Ropirio is commercializing the world’s first drug that directly targets and reactivates lymph vessels, a portfolio of other lymph-targeting small molecules, and a preclinical platform for discovering more. -
Passive Directional Valve Technology: Towards More User-friendly and Accessible Microfluidic Devices for Diagnostic and Research Applications
Passive directional valves enable smaller and more complex microfluidics applications across of broad spectrum of future technologies, including diagnostics, drug development, and tissue engineering. -
Sugar-to-Fiber Enzyme for Healthier Food
In collaboration with Kraft Heinz, our sugar-to-fiber product can convert sugar in food products into prebiotic fiber in the human gut, reducing the amount of sugar absorbed into the bloodstream without altering the amount of sugar in existing food product recipes. -
Microfluidic Hemostasis Monitor
The body’s ability to stop bleeding, also known as hemostasis, is critical for survival. For patients with blood clotting disorders, medical conditions requiring the use of anticoagulation or antiplatelet drugs, or who require treatment with extracorporeal devices that circulate their blood outside of the body, it is essential that care providers can rapidly monitor their... -
3D Bioprinting of Living Tissues
The Problem There is a severe shortage of human organs for people who need transplants due to injury or disease: more than 103,000 people are on the waiting list for organs in the US, and it’s estimated that 17 people die waiting for an organ transplant every day. Growing full organs from living human... -
LactoRING for a Healthy Vaginal Microbiome
LactoRING is a novel slow-release vaginal ring designed to ensure continuous replenishment of Lactobacillus, promoting a healthy vaginal microbiome for a longer duration. The slow-release mechanism and targeted delivery to the vaginal environment will enhance the efficacy and convenience of treatment, thereby providing a comprehensive approach to vaginal dysbiosis management.

Video/AnimationAtlantic Health Research Spotlight: Female-Reproductive-Tract Organ Chips for Women’s Health and Fertility StudiesInnovation has disrupted care as we know it. Challenges with access, complex diseases, and care delivery persist, but so do areas of opportunity for emerging tech and discoveries. The Atlantic explored gene editing, artificial intelligence, climate change, weight-loss and diabetes treatments, and more at their annual Health Summit. Wyss researchers Aakanksha Gulati, Ph.D., and Ola... -
Audio/PodcastMaking Sugar Healthier – DDN DialoguesWith some out-of-the-box engineering, researchers have developed a nature-inspired strategy to turn sugar in packaged foods into gut-healthy fiber. This podcast features Director of Business Development, Sam Inverso, Ph.D., and Senior Engineer Adama Sesay, Ph.D., along with Judith Moca and John Topinka from Kraft-Heinz. This episode was created and is owned by Drug Discovery News,... -
Video/AnimationBridging science, engineering, and art: from mechanobiology to Human Organs-on-ChipsIn this Marsilius Lecture, Wyss Founding Director Don Ingber shares his personal path from a serendipitous experience in an undergraduate art class that led to his discovery of how living cells are constructed using “tensegrity” architecture and how this contributed to the birth of the field of Mechanobiology to his more recent work on human... -
Video/AnimationNovel Model Organisms w/ Don Ingber & Hans Clevers – BIOS RoundtableDon Ingber – Founding Director at Wyss Institute Hans Clevers – Head of Pharma Research & Development (pRED) at Roche Hear about the evolution of humanized models and their potential applications in drug development, personalized medicine, and more. Ingber and Clevers share their scientific experiences and expertise. They also discuss misconceptions surrounding the application of... -
Video/AnimationHow do we make safer and more effective drugs?Wyss researchers are using an ever-growing number of human tissue-mimicking Organ Chips to improve and accelerate the drug development process for a wide number of unmet diseases – and understand what causes them to erupt. More recently, they added a human Vagina Chip and personalized Barrett’s esophagus Chip to their arsenal, and created in vitro...
