Both companies plan to combine their respective technologies to deliver storable assay-ready 3D liver models for toxicology testing to reduce time and cost in new drug development.
August 21, 2018, Bilbao, Spain and Saint Grégoire, France — StemTek and Biopredic International are joining forces to design convenient, ready to use storable systems for toxicology screening on 3D liver cell models. 3D cell culture technology recapitulates the natural architecture of the tissue in a convenient laboratory format, producing more predictive data for in vivo tests. This technology allows a better understanding of the interaction of candidate compounds in areal physiological model, thus reducing drug failures. [Read more…]
