Professor Takanori Takebe, MD PhD is an Endowed Chair of Organoid Medicine and Director of Commercial Innovation for Center for Stem Cell and Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and a Professor at Osaka University, and Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Takebe lab develops and applies novel approaches and tools to recapitulate, probe and manipulate human liver development and to understand the personalized molecular mechanisms that lead to disease. Towards this goal, he is building experimental organogenesis approaches to engineer hepato-biliary-pancreatic systems using pluripotent stem cells in vitro and in animals to construct and deconstruct previously inaccessible phases of human liver health and disease. He is on the board of directors for the International Society for Stem Cell Research.
