About Us

We are

Our Purpose

We believe that meaningful progress in medicine requires models that respect biological complexity, reduce unnecessary reliance on animal testing, and generate knowledge that is relevant to human health.

Our Mission

Our mission is to accelerate therapies for neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases by providing predictive, scalable, and ethical human-based in vitro models that replace animal testing.

Our Vision

Our vision is to make human-relevant testing the global standard, empowering laboratories worldwide to develop safer, more effective therapies faster and with greater confidence in human outcomes.

The Science Behind Our Platforms

Accelerate breakthroughs with human-based organ-on-a-chip solutions for neuroscience that deliver faster, more predictive results.

95% of preclinical results are not approved for human trials, 5% are approved

The Challenge

Current Animal Preclinical Models are not Sufficient

Drug discovery and neurotoxicity testing still lack scalable, functional human models that truly reflect how neurons and muscles behave in the body.

Neuronal networks are complex, highly interconnected systems.
Conventional 2D cultures lack reproducible functional organization.
Animal models often fail to accurately predict human responses.

The Need

Human-relevant Data that Scales with Development

Meaningful translation requires models that replicate how human neurons and muscles interact - structurally, functionally, and over time.

Microenvironment and architecture shape neuronal and neuromuscular behavior.
Three-dimensional organization enables functional connectivity.
Human-based systems enhance translational relevance.
Real-time, multiparametric data supports informed development decisions.
