Hans Clevers, M.D., Ph.D., shares his research at the intersection of medicine and biology. Clevers discusses revolutionary advances in personalized medicine, where patient-specific treatments can be developed by studying small samples of patients' tissues. He explores the role of specialized cells known as "best for cells" in gastrointestinal health, shedding light on how they may help fight infections. Additionally, he highlights how mini-organs, or organoids, grown in the lab help us understand complex cellular functions and diseases.
