Don Ingber, M.D., Ph.D., is the Founding Director of Harvard University’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and a pioneer of organ-on-a-chip technology.
In this episode of Cutting to the Case, Ingber and host Cameron Sabet discuss how he helped create organs-on-chips, what these systems can teach us that traditional models cannot, and how biologically inspired engineering could change drug development and medicine. They also explore the path from fundamental discovery to real-world technology, the future of alternatives to animal testing, and what comes next for bioengineering.
