Cherry Biotech's mission
Cherry Biotech’s mission is to create a cutting-edge technological platform that utilizes in-vitro and ex-vivo human biological models to assess the effects of various compounds (such as drugs, endocrine disruptors, and cosmetics) on the human body, to enhance the treatment of diseases and predict adverse side effects. By integrating innovative microfluidic technologies, artificial intelligence, and state-of-the-art imaging techniques, the platform aims to provide the best alternative to ineffective animal models and address their limitations.
Our team
To meet all the challenges of our company, we have built a united and hardworking group. We are a multidisciplinary team of 14 people of 8 different nationalities, passionate about our mission, helping each other, and adapting to all situations.
3 main attitudes are the foundation of our corporate culture:
Sense of humor 🙂 – Surpassing yourself – Cooperation
What do we offer?
Organs on Chip, or micro physiological systems (MPS), have the potential to accelerate the discovery of new treatments and replace animal models. At Cherry Biotech, we have developed a new device called CubiX, which can control the physical parameters of the cellular environment.
