IBS affects about 1.6 million Americans, many of whom cannot be effectively treated. Wyss researchers created donor-specific Colon Chips that replicate major hallmarks of IBD in vitro in an unprecedented way, revealing stromal fibroblasts as drivers of inflammation, fibrosis, & enhanced cancer risk.
1 in 3 people are affected by neurological conditions. The time is now for a different approach.
With partners like the Bezos family, @awscloud.bsky.social, & EverythingALS, we're launching the #BrainHealth accelerator to advance science & fast-track therapies.
