Elad Katz
Dr Elad Katz has been developing organoid-based drug discovery in the University of Dundee. This activity has been based on his inventive technology, NaviPlate and is the basis for three commercial projects. Having trained initially in chemistry, Elad did his PhD in immunology in University of Glasgow. During his post-doc in the USA, he became interested in complex biology, through 3D cell cultures of cancer cells. Dr Katz has been passionate about bringing these systems into mainstream drug discovery to the benefit of patients with unmet clinical needs. He has been involved in two successful spin-outs in this space and is hoping to manage a third next year.
