Dr. Marko Groeger is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Dr. Holger Willenbring at UCSF.

He received his diploma in trophology at the University of Jena in 2013. After that he became a PhD student in the lab of Dr. Alexander Mosig at the University Hospital Jena. As a member of the Center of Sepsis Control and Care he participated in the establishment of a biochip-based, microphysiological model of the human liver to investigate sepsis-associated inflammatory dysfunction.

Generally, he is interested in new ways to mimic human organ function with microphysiological organ-on-chip models to evaluate cellular targets for possible treatment strategies in translational research.
