Quthero is co-founded by Dr. Milica Radisic,
Professor at the University of Toronto, Tier 1
Canada Research Chair in Organ-on-a-Chip
Engineering, and a Senior Scientist at the
Toronto General Research Institute. She is
also the Director of the NSERC CREATE
Training Program in Organ-on-a-Chip
Engineering & Entrepreneurship and a co-
founder of the Center for Research and
Applications in Fluidic Technologies. Her
research focuses on organ-on-a-chip
engineering and the development of new
biomaterials that promote healing and
attenuate scarring.
