Harnessing the magic of chemistry to engineer the molecular characteristics of a tissue. On demand!
For their proper functioning, cells belonging to different tissues in the human body have distinct physical, chemical, and biological expectations for their environment. Put simply some cells prefer a rigid habitat, others - compliant; some cells are stimulated by hypoxic conditions, for others - it is deadly; some cells feel home when packed with other similar cells, others prefer to be virtually alone. It is our mission to both be part of the quest to identify each and every single piece of a determinant guiding cell fate, as well as to utilize these determinants to arrive at a tissue (or even an organ) in a lab indistinguishable from, or even superior than, the native human tissue.
Outgrowing the need for animal testing as an indispensable part of the process of improving human well-being!
We envision a future empowered by limitless tissue engineering capabilities, a future in which the progress in regenerative medicine has made it unfathomable to speak of an organ waiting list or death due to an organ failure, a future in which the role of animals in the development of new health or beauty products has long been forgotten, and these new products are highly personalized to the individual’s idiosyncratic set of traits.
