Dr. Lika Drahklis is a Junior Group Leader at Hannover Medical School. Her lab focuses on human pluripotent stem cell-derived heart-forming organoids, which model heart, vasculature and foregut co-development. Their current research focuses on advancing the HFOs to derive a broad range of complex multi-tissue organoids for sophisticated development and disease modeling, deciphering (patho-)physiological mechanisms and replacing animal experiments.
