Jan Lichtenberg's Biography


Jan Lichtenberg, CEO & Co-Founder, InSphero AG

Jan Lichtenberg, Ph.D., is Co-Founder and CEO of Swiss- and US-based InSphero Inc., the largest supplier of 3D cell-culture products and services for pharmaceutical customers worldwide. InSphero patented assay-ready 3D microtissues mimic the structure and functionality of organ tissue, e.g. liver, pancreas, or tumors including disease states like diabetes or NASH. The 3D microtissues allow for more predictive and reliable compound profiling for discovery and safety testing in a highly robust, rapid and cost-efficient way. Jan co-founded InSphero in 2009 and grew the company to 50 employees in Switzerland and the US while expanding the business to encompass all top 15 global pharmaceutical companies. Prior to InSphero, Jan had VP R&D and Product Management positions at Hocoma AG (medical robotics) and Uwatec (microelectronics). He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Neuchâtel and managed a research group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich.

Multi-tissue devices, in which different biomimetic organ models can interact with each other, have the potential to prepone systemic biological investigations of compound action to the in vitro phase. Early systemic insight will have substantial impact on compound selection and the reduction of animal studies. Combining physiologically relevant organ models in perfusion systems bears technological challenges and often leads to complicated culturing setups. Complex systems limit assay robustness, reduce reproducibility and make integration into scalable, automated routine processes difficult. We present a new multi-tissue platform featuring microfluidic channels and chambers that were specifically engineered for culturing of microtissues and organoids under physiological flow conditions. The platform complies with the SBS plate standard and is made polystyrene to prevent unwanted compound absorption. Its concept allows for automated and on-demand interconnection of up to 10 microtissues per channel in a very flexible way. Multiple devices can be operated in parallel, which increases the number of conditions and statistical replicates that can be executed in parallel. With the broad range of available spheroid-based organ-models, a variety of pre-clinical testing applications can be served using the very same platform.
