Anna Herland is a Professor in the Department of Nanobiotechnology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on developing microphysiological systems, known as Organ-on-Chip (OoC) models, that replicate human tissue environments. She leverages her expertise in stem cell engineering, particularly with human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), to create patient-specific in vitro models that closely mimic in vivo biological functions. Her work includes the integration of organic bioelectronics to enable real-time functional assessments and the construction of advanced models of the human neurovascular unit to study neuronal interactions and metabolic functions. Herland's interdisciplinary approach combines organic electronics, sensing technologies, and microfluidics to develop dynamic nanoscale imaging techniques. Her contributions have been recognized with awards such as the Göran Gustafsson Foundation Award and as a Wallenberg Academy Fellow. Her research has significant implications for drug development and personalized medicine, providing innovative platforms for studying complex biological systems.
