Prof. Dr. Peter Loskill is W3-Professor for Organ-on-Chip Research at the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen and the Natural and Medical Sciences Institute (NMI) as well as Past-Chair of the European-Organ-on-Chip-Society (EUROoCS). He graduated in 2012 from Saarland University with a PhD in Physics and thereafter worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Healy Lab at UC Berkeley. In 2015, he was named as one of Technology Review’s “Innovators under 35 Germany” and awarded an ATTRACT starting grant. He now heads the interdisciplinary µOrgano-Lab and the 3R Center Tübingen for In vitro Models and Alternatives to Animal Testing.
The interdisciplinary µOrgano-Lab (https://www.organ-on-chip.uni-tuebingen.de) combines approaches from engineering, biology, physics and medicine to generate and apply novel microphysiological tissue models recapitulating complex human biology in vitro. The 3R Center Tübingen (https://www.the3rs.uni-tuebingen.de) aims to provide all scientists in Baden-Württemberg with low-threshold access to novel alternative methods to animal testing.
