Hans Clevers

Hans Clevers is a prominent Dutch scientist known for his work in stem cell research and regenerative medicine. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of how stem cells function in the human body, particularly in the intestines. Clevers developed innovative techniques to grow “organoids,” which are miniaturized versions of organs created from stem cells in the lab. These organoids help researchers study diseases, test drugs, and explore how organs develop. His research has important implications for improving therapies for various diseases, including cancer and genetic disorders. Clevers’ work bridges biology and medicine, advancing scientific knowledge and potential treatments.
