About
Ursula Graf‐Hausner is a pioneer in the automation of cell culture technologies, with a research focus bridging 3D tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Her major contributions lie in developing reproducible, chemically defined systems that replace manual, error-prone processes. In her highly cited 2013 work, she demonstrated the automation of 3D cell culture using chemically defined hydrogels, addressing a critical bottleneck in drug development: the reliance on 2D monolayers that fail to mimic in vivo biology. This work, with 28 citations, has helped shift high-throughput screening toward more physiologically relevant 3D formats. Earlier, in 2011, she developed a novel automated platform for cell isolation, expansion, and characterization, tackling the need for safe, scalable methods in regenerative medicine. Her achievements underscore a commitment to translating lab innovations into clinical and industrial applications, making her a key figure in advancing reproducible cell-based assays.
