Meritxell Huch is a Director at MPI-CBG in Dresden, Germany. She obtained her PhD at CRG in Barcelona, Spain in 2007 and moved to the Netherlands at Hubrecht Institute for her postdoc. There, she pioneered the generation of organoids for non-intestinal tissues including stomach, liver, pancreas. In 2014, she obtained an independent position at Gurdon Institute, where her lab established the first human liver organoid models derived from both healthy and diseased human liver tissue. By combining organoid and animal models, her lab made significant contributions on the understanding of molecular and cellular mechanisms of tissue regeneration and disease. In 2019, she received the prestigious Lise Meitner Award from the Max Planck Society and moved to MPI-CBG. In 2022, she was elected Max Planck Director.
