“On the Verge of the Next Healthcare Revolution”
Nathalie Brandenberg and Sylke Hoehnel co-founded SUN bioscience in 2016. SUN bioscience offers a 3D microwell platform based on patient-specific organoids. Organoids are self-organizing 3D miniature tissues with organ-mimicking functions that are grown from stem cells. The challenge? Allowing patients suffering from various diseases to identify the treatments that are best suited to them - a revolution in personalized medicine. Nathalie Brandenberg and Sylke Hoehnel both graduated from EPFL's School of Life Sciences. They are the co-CEOs of the company.
