In 2010, the HUMA co-founder and CEO, Dr. Laura Niklason and her colleagues were able to successfully produce an engineered rat lung that could inhale and exhale carbon dioxide.

Her work on lab-grown lungs was recognized as one of the top 50 most important inventions of 2010 by Time magazine.[3][4] Niklason was included on Fortune’s “Digital Health Care Leaders” list in 2017 for her work in regenerative medicine.
