Identifying the Ideal In Vitro Liver Model for Various Research Applications

Presented By: Michael Johnson, PhD Speaker Biography: Dr. Michael Johnson, PhD is a 2017 and 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and the CEO and Co-Founder of Visikol Inc., which is a bio-imaging company that spun out of Rutgers University in 2016 and that Michael founded along with his fellow PhD candidate Thomas Villani and colleague Nick Crider. Michael has a diverse background with experiences in both the technical and business considerations of running a biotech business. Following his undergraduate degree in biology at Muhlenberg College, Michael spent three years in various roles at Johnson & Johnson while concurrently pursuing a PhD in applied microbiology at Rutgers University. Michael's research background has focused on a wide-range of projects from remote sensing research with NASA to building light sheet microscopes and producing biofuels. Prior to launching Visikol, Michael worked on several other biotech-based entrepreneurial pursuits and is very passionate about translating cutting edge research into life-changing commercial technologies. Webinar: Identifying the Ideal In Vitro Liver Model for Various Research Applications Webinar Abstract: Over the last few years, the space of advanced in vitro models has grown dramatically as researchers look to better mimic the in vivo environment within inexpensive and high throughput in vitro models. Of all tissue systems, one of the most modeled is the liver as drug induced liver injury accounts for over 20% of late-stage clinical failures and diseases like NASH and HBV affect millions within the US. The focus of this talk is on describing the current state of advanced liver cell culture models and providing guidance on how best to choose which liver in vitro model system is best for a particular research question. Three separate in vitro model systems will be discussed: 1) HUREL 2D Micro Livers, 2) Spheroid 3D cell culture and 3) Ex vivo tissue slices. The advantages and disadvantages of each model system will be thoroughly described, and researchers will be provided with guidance on how best to choose their models based on cost, in vivo relevancy and throughput.
