Early life and education

Hans Clevers was born in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 1957. [4] He began studying biology at Utrecht University in 1975, but also started taking medicine in 1978, [7] in part due to his interest and in part because his friends and brothers were in the medical profession. [11] He spent 1 year in Nairobi, Kenya, and half a year at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, United States, for biology rotations. [11] [12] He received a Doctoraal (equivalent to an MSc) in Biology in 1982 and an Artsexamen (equivalent to an MD) in 1984. Mostly because of his research background, Clevers was selected for a training position in paediatrics, and then went to pursue a PhD in 1985, under the supervision of Rudy Ballieux. [6] [13] [14] He obtained his PhD 1 year later. [7] [11]

Career

After his PhD, Clevers went to the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute as a postdoctoral researcher at Cox Terhorst's group. [8] [11] [15] [16] In 1989, he returned to the Netherlands, joining his alma mater , Utrecht University, as an assistant professor at the Department of Clinical Immunology. [8]

In 1991, Clevers became a professor and the chair of the Department of Immunology at Utrecht University. [8] He moved to the University Medical Center Utrecht in 2002 as a professor in molecular genetics, and started his lab at the Hubrecht Institute for Developmental Biology and Stem Cell Research (Hubrecht Institute). [7] At the same time, he took up the position of Director of the Hubrecht Institute. [8]

In March 2012, Clevers was elected the president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, succeeding Robbert Dijkgraaf. [17] [18] His term concluded in 2015, and he started another lab at the Princess Máxima Center  [ nl ], [8] focusing on childhood cancer, [10] and became the Director Research and Chief Scientific Officer there until 2019. [8]

Clevers left University Medical Center Utrecht and was appointed Professor in Molecular Genetics at Utrecht University in 2020. [7]

In 2022, Clevers joined the Swiss healthcare company Roche as its Head of Pharma, Research and Early Development and a member of its Corporate Executive Committee. [19] [20] He remains an advisor and guest scientist or visiting researcher to his research groups at the Princess Máxima Center and Hubrecht Institute. [9] [10]

Since 2017, Clevers is an investigator at the Oncode Institute in Utrecht. [7] [21]

Clevers has served at a number of scientific organizations, including on the board of directors of the American Association for Cancer Research (2013-2016), [22] and the Scientific Advisory Board of the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (2005-2015), [8] the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna (2015-2021) [23] and the Francis Crick Institute in London. [24] He is currently on the advisory board of various scientific journals, including The EMBO Journal , [25] Disease Models & Mechanisms , [26] Cell , [27] Cell Stem Cell [28] and EMBO Molecular Medicine . [29] From 2014 to 2022, he was also on the editorial committee of the Annual Review of Cancer Biology . [7]

Outside the academia, Clevers has been a scientific advisor to numerous biotechnology companies. [7] He also co-founded California-based Surrozen [30] in 2016 [31] and Shanghai-based D1 Medical Technology [32] in 2019. [33]

Research

Clevers's early career focused on the Wnt signaling pathway. [34] His group identified the TCF1 protein, a member of the TCF gene family and a crucial downstream component of the Wnt signaling pathway, making it central in immune responses, embryonic development and tissue repair. [35] His interest in the gastrointestinal tract began with the discovery that another TCF family member, the TCF4 protein, is required in forming intestinal crypts. [36] Collaborating with Bert Vogelstein, he found that in colon cancer where the APC gene is doubly mutated, TCF family members activate catenin beta-1, which then enhances the expression of many genes that cause cancer transformation, [37] connecting the Wnt signaling pathway with colon cancer.

In 2007, Clevers's group identified a marker for stem cells of the small and large intestines, LGR5, itself also a target of the Wnt signaling pathway. [38] This led to his finding that LGR5 is a stem cell marker in other organs as well, including the stomach [39] and hair follicles. [40]

Building on this discovery, in 2009, his group published a landmark paper, describing for the first time how organoids, which are 3-dimensional in vitro structures that behave anatomically and molecularly like the organ from which they are derived, were generated from adult stem cells, creating organoids of the small intestine. [41] Clevers's group has applied this technology to culturing organoids from other organs, such as the stomach [39] and liver, [42] as well as from various cancer types, including cancer of the breast [43] and the ovaries. [44] This platform has since been applied in personalized medicine, by generating organoids from specific patients to screen for drugs. [45] [46] This is not limited to cancer but is applicable to other diseases as well (for example, cystic fibrosis). [47] His current major research interest is in using organoids derived from adult stem cells to study the molecular mechanism of tissue and cancer development.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Clevers's group modelled the infection of SARS-CoV-2 using lung organoids. [48]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Organoid</span> Miniaturized and simplified version of an organ

An organoid is a miniaturised and simplified version of an organ produced in vitro in three dimensions that mimics the key functional, structural, and biological complexity of that organ. It is derived from one or a few cells from a tissue, embryonic stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cells, which can self-organize in three-dimensional culture owing to their self-renewal and differentiation capacities. The technique for growing organoids has rapidly improved since the early 2010s, and The Scientist named it one of the biggest scientific advancements of 2013. Scientists and engineers use organoids to study development and disease in the laboratory, for drug discovery and development in industry, personalized diagnostics and medicine, gene and cell therapies, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

The Cancer Genome Project is part of the cancer, aging, and somatic mutation research based at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom. It aims to identify sequence variants/mutations critical in the development of human cancers. Like The Cancer Genome Atlas project within the United States, the Cancer Genome Project represents an effort in the War on Cancer to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention through a better understanding of the molecular basis of the disease. The Cancer Genome Project was launched by Michael Stratton in 2000, and Peter Campbell is now the group leader of the project. The project works to combine knowledge of the human genome sequence with high throughput mutation detection techniques.

As a member of the TCF family, TCF7L2 can form a bipartite transcription factor and influence several biological pathways, including the Wnt signalling pathway.

Intestines-on-a-chip are microfluidic bioengineered 3D-models of the real organ, which better mimic physiological features than conventional 3D intestinal organoid culture. A variety of different intestine-on-a-chip models systems have been developed and refined, all holding their individual strengths and weaknesses and collectively holding great promise to the ultimate goal of establishing these systems as reliable high-throughput platforms for drug testing and personalised medicine. The intestine is a highly complex organ system performing a diverse set of vital tasks, from nutrient digestion and absorption, hormone secretion, and immunological processes to neuronal activity, which makes it particularly challenging to model in vitro.
