About
Tobias Klaassen is a pioneering researcher in the field of microfluidic organ-on-chip technologies, with a primary focus on developing advanced in vitro liver models. His major contribution lies in the creation of the HepaChip-MP, a groundbreaking twenty-four chamber microplate that enables continuously perfused liver coculture. This innovative platform employs automated dielectrophoresis to selectively assemble viable primary human liver cells into elongated microtissues, mimicking the native hepatic architecture. With 19 citations, this work has established a new standard for high-throughput, physiologically relevant liver models. Klaassen's research bridges the gap between traditional 2D cell culture and complex in vivo systems, offering a scalable solution for drug toxicity testing and metabolic studies. His achievements demonstrate a remarkable ability to integrate microengineering, cell biology, and automation, making significant strides toward reducing animal testing in pharmaceutical development.
