Our long term vision and goals

Replacing Animal Testing Through Technological Convergence

Experience a new age of drug testing

We are convinced that the technological convergence of Microfluidic Organ-On-Chip, Multi-omics, the most advanced imaging techniques and artificial intelligence will allow to better predict drugs effects on the human body and bring the possibility to replace animal testing

Most experiments on animals are not relevant to human health. This leads to very high failure rates (<95%) of drugs tested on current preclinical animal models (first evaluation of a drug candidate before clinical trial or administration to humans).

Our mission is to develop a technological platform combining microfluidic technology, artificial intelligence, and the most advanced imaging techniques allowing the scientific paradigm shift from animal to 3D In vitro toxicology and efficacy prediction.

This platform allows us to validate at an early stage (before clinical trials) the safety and efficacy of the drug under development.

Reliable and early predictions allow us to focus human resources and financial investments towards the best drug candidates. The reduction of the development cost of each new drug will permit on the investment in the drugs better able to treat rare and chronic diseases, cancer, bacterial resistance and viral pandemics.
Besides, this platform is an alternative to the animal model, which is still widely used because it is regulated, although ineffective.

Our Vision

To reduce and replace animal testing to predict drugs effects on human body, we are convinced that we can reach the full potential of drug prediction by combining Artificial Intelligence, Microfluidic instruments, Multi Omic Sensors and High-resolution live Imaging.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop an Organ-On-Chip platform that will provide massive and high-quality biological data coming from Multi-Omic analysis & the most advanced imaging techniques. This approach has the potential to become the next standard in drug development and replace animal experimentation.

Our Unique Approach

We convert any commercial multiwell plate into a standard in vitro 3D cell culture plate by adding our microfluidic perfusion lid, to culture any tissue, organs, physiopathologic and pathologic.
