Hubrecht Institute

We spoke to Miguel Leung, who today celebrates his first year as a group leader at the Hubrecht Institute! His group uses structural cell biology to study reproduction and microbial diversity at atomic resolution by starting with the deceptively simple question: what does it look like?

Read more about Miguel’s experience setting up his lab at the Hubrecht Institute, and what lies ahead for his group via the link in our bio!

Researchers from the Organoid group at the Hubrecht Institute created mini airway submucosal glands. These airway organoids produce region-specific mucus and function just like real glands in our lungs, which makes them a powerful tool to study how our airways repair themselves, react to inflammation, and fight off viruses.

By mimicking the deeper layers of airway tissue—not just the surface—these organoids offer new insights into how our respiratory system functions in both health and disease.
