Growing Bone Organoids to Test Bone Cancer Drugs on Cells Before Administering Them to Patients: Dr. Gian Nutal Schädli, CompagOs

X-Health.show - meet the future of healthcare

While growing bone organoids, it is apparently important to take bone cells to the gym three times a week. Or – apply mechanical loading, if you want to use more precise language.
You’ll hear about

• mechanical properties of the human bone
• how to grow bone organoids and what can you test on them
• osteogenesis imperfecta called glass bones
• osteosarcoma
• bone metastasis
• and bone density in Roger Federer's right wrist

Dr. Gian Nutal Schädli, the CEO of CompagOs, completed his PhD in biomechanical engineering with the focus on bone organoids. Fun fact his middle name – Nutal – means Christmas in Romansh, the fourth language of Switzerland.
CompagOs is a Swiss startup a super fresh ETH spin-off. They aim to help clinicians and drug developers choose the most effective treatment for patients with bone cancers. Their mineralized 3D bioprinted bone organoids closely mimic natural bone structures.
