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... -
Video/AnimationNucleoTide – CRISPR-based biosensors for rapidly detecting harmful marine microbesThe warming of the oceans due to climate change has increased the frequency and potency of harmful algal blooms. These algae species produce toxins that can harm or even kill people, fish, shellfish, marine mammals, and birds. Researchers at the Wyss Institute are working to develop inexpensive sensors that could detect dangerous algae species earlier... -
Video/AnimationHow can we train the immune system to fight cancer?The implantable cancer vaccine is a biomaterial that recruits and reprograms a patient’s own immune cells on-site to kill cancer cells. This revolutionary immuno-material technology was tested in a Phase I clinical trial with promising results and is currently licensed by Novartis as an immunotherapy to treat specific tumor types.
