Our mission

We develop complex in vitro models to address multiple issues associated with drug discovery in the pharmaceutical industry. In turn, our work has repercussions on a wider scale. Our mission is divided into 3 objectives – read on to learn more.

Improving drug development

We focus on creating realistic in vitro models to provide pharmaceutical companies with superior preclinical data. This approach aims to enhance decision-making in drug development, ultimately boosting the likelihood of successful outcomes.
