History
InSphero was founded in 2009 as an official spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology – ETH Zürich. The main mission of the co-founders, Dr. Jan Lichtenberg, Dr. Wolfgang Moritz, and Dr. Jens Kelm was to address the rising need for alternative methods to animal testing in the drug discovery process.
