About
Christian Schmees is a leading researcher in the field of microfluidic organ-on-a-chip technologies, with a primary focus on developing advanced in vitro liver models for drug testing and toxicology. His most notable contribution is the creation of the HepaChip-MP, a groundbreaking twenty-four chamber microplate that enables continuously perfused liver coculture. This innovative platform uses automated dielectrophoresis to selectively assemble viable primary human hepatocytes into elongated microtissues, closely mimicking native liver architecture and function. The HepaChip-MP represents a significant advance over static culture systems, offering a more physiologically relevant environment for studying drug metabolism, hepatotoxicity, and liver disease. With 19 citations, this work has already influenced the field of microphysiological systems. Schmees’ research bridges engineering and biology, providing researchers with powerful tools to reduce reliance on animal testing and improve preclinical drug development. His dedication to creating reproducible, high-throughput organ-on-a-chip platforms positions him as a key innovator in the future of personalized medicine and pharmaceutical safety assessment.
