Ask Me Anything: Body-On-A-Chip
- Michael Shuler, PhD was featured on Technology Network's Ask Me Anything: Body-On-A-Chip webinar and answered questions from a live audience.
January 31, 2025: Hosted by Technology Networks, Hesperos President Michael Shuler, PhD, was featured on Ask Me Anything: Body-On-A-Chip. Body-On-A-Chip technologies, also known as microphysiological systems (MPS), are revolutionizing drug discovery by mimicking human physiology to more accurately test for drug safety and efficacy.
Dr. Shuler, a pioneer in the microphysiological systems field, took questions from the live audience about the inception, uses, foundational principles, and future of microphysiological systems. Dr. Shuler's work at Hesperos and at Cornell University has given him unique expertise and perspective on how this cutting-edge technology is already impacting—and will continue to impact—biomedical research.
Highlights
- Dr. Shuler developed Human-On-A-Chip® technology to create an artificial human model to drug discovery efficiency.
- He founded Hesperos in collaboration with Dr. James Hickman in 2014
- Studies using Human-On-A-Chip® models have successfully supported multiple IND filings.
- Human-On-A-Chip® models incorporate organ structure to better mimic human physiology.
